In the past, Scholarly Communication generally encompassed how research was disseminated, i.e. scholarly publishing, and maybe a little on how scholars share amongst themselves. Now, Scholarly Communication impacts all areas of scholarship, covering a diverse array of services that help people share information. Scholarly Communication groups are often based in libraries and their areas of expertise could include any or all of the following: 



  • authors’ rights
  • copyright
  • open access
  • institutional repositories
  • rights to federally funded research - articles and data
  • data management
  • copyright
  • plagiarism
  • models of publishing
  • economics of scholarly resources
  • usage metrics 
  • altmetrics

  • Join us to discuss the questions you have had in these areas, and how you resolved those questions. Or maybe the group can help with some answers.
