OCLC research publishes framework for discussions about evolving scholarly record

摘要

The ways and means of scholarly inquiry are experiencing fundamental change, with consequences for scholarly communication and ultimately, the scholarly record. The boundaries of the scholarly record are both expanding and blurring, driven by changes in research practices as well as changing perceptions of the long-term value of certain forms of scholarly materials. Understanding the nature, scope and evolutionary trends of the scholarly record is an important concern in many quarters - for libraries, for publishers, for funders and, of course, for scholars themselves. Many issues are intrinsic to the scholarly record, such as preservation, citation, replicability, provenance and data curation.
