Research Questions Addressed --Bibliography --IndexThe debate about access to scientific research raises questions about the current effectiveness of scholarly communication processes. This book explores, from an independent point of view, the current state of the STM publishing market, new publishing technologies and business models as well as the information habit of researchers, the politics of research funders, and the demand for scientific research as a public good. The book also investigates the democratisation of science including how the information needs of knowledge workers outside academia can be embraced in future.Global studies in libraries and information ; Volume 2.Science publishingScholarly publishingSTM publishing, scholarly communication.open access, research libraries, research funding.Science publishing.Scholarly publishing.070.5AK 28400BVBrvkBrown David J.82949International Federation of Library Associations,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797812903321Access to scientific research3782994UNINA
