The Future of Scholarly Communication in Economics
Objective of the project and research questions
This projects addresses issues corresponding to those of the Science 2.0 research alliance, in particular the question: “How does the internet change the way in which economists communicate with each other or disseminate their research?”
Under this topical umbrella we want to discuss especially the following aspects:
Pros/cons of the review process, and new ideas for improvements
Different methods to measure reputation
Impact of open access on the publication market
Inclusion of research data in the publication process
The changing role of publishers, libraries, and scientific communities
The potential of social media tools (blogs, wikis, Twitter, Facebook etc.) in scholarly communication
To discuss these questions, “Economics – The Open Access, Open Assessment E-Journal” will organize a workshop and will publish a special issue with related papers.
