What is Scholarly Communications
Scholarly communications is the system and process by which scholarly research and works are created, evaluated, disseminated, and preserved. In 2003, ACRL defined scholarly communication as "the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. The system includes both formal means of communication, such as publication in peer-reviewed journals, and informal channels, such as electronic listservs." It has expanded to encompass more forms of dissemination since then, scholarly communication is frequently defined or depicted as a lifecycle documenting the steps involved in the creation, publication, dissemination and discovery of a piece of scholarly research.
