| Sumario: | The debate about access to scientific research raises questions about the current effectiveness of scholarly communication processes. This book explores, from an independent point of view, the current state of the STM (science/technology/medicine) publishing market, new publishing technologies, and business models as well as the information habit of researchers, the politics of research funders, and the demand for scientific research as a public good. The book also investigates the democratization of science including how the information needs of knowledge workers outside academia can be embraced in future. |
