Social Machines of Science and Scholarship (PDF Abstract) (Slides on Slideshare)
Academic papers have successfully supported scholarly communication since the Royal Society’s introduction of this revolutionary open science model some 350 years ago. However, research practice is changing dramatically, particularly with the advent of digital techniques and data sources. This raises an important question: are papers still fit for purpose as we move forwards? If we can better understand that purpose it will help inform the route for “Digital Libraries at the crossroads”.
