Scholarly Communication
Scholarly communication can be defined 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.”
(Association of College & Research Libraries)
