Von der hinteren Coverseite

The debate about access to scientific research raises questions about the effectiveness of the current scholarly communication process. A perfect storm is bearing down on this specialist publishing business, with a combination of social and technical drivers influencing change.  This book explores the present state of the STM publishing sector, including the impact of new publishing technologies, the demand for scientific research as a public good, the policies of research funders, the changing information habits of researchers, and the need for new business models. One of the opportunities which the combination of drivers is creating is an extension of the market for published research beyond the confines of the academic research sector to include knowledge workers outside academia. The author has worked in both the publishing industry and the research library sector, and brings an independent perspective to the strategic developments affecting scientific publishing.
