Open Scholarship

Since the advent of the internet scholars have been exploring new ways to share their scholarship and innovate the practice of scholarly inquiry. This has led to newer models of the sharing and working such as scientists and medical researchers sharing their research via blogs and pre-prints prior to articles being published, humanities scholars presenting their researching in unique digital media to other scholars and the public, and subject specific repositories to share various forms of scholarship related to particular fields and topics.
