Making Web2.0 for science: Co-production of Web2.0 platforms and knowledgeJames Stewart
This paper examines how two contrasting scholarly publishers are responding to the opportunities and challenges of Web 2.0 to innovate their services. Our findings highlight the need to take seriously the role of publishers in the move towards a vision of more rapid and open scholarly communication and to understand the factors that shape their role as intermediaries in the innovation pathways that may be needed to achieve it.
Changing paradigm in academic scholarly communication
Abstract: The present article aimed to explore the changes took place over the period of time in scholarly communication process. The traditional scholarly communication process is compared and contrasted with open access driven scholarly communication process/model. Also it throws light on how the Web 2.0 has affected the way knowledge is created and disseminated. It also covers new avenues for peer review process, which is an integral part of scholarly communication process. The article ends with future of scholarly communication and the challenges ahead.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The (Un)Changing Face of Academic Publishing

2. This Talk
1. Context of this talk
2. A glimpse at the past and present of formal scholarly communication
3. The scholarly blog: Jack of all trades, master of none?
4. (Policy) implications
3. Context
In the broader context of the Internet‘s impact on scholarship, a number
of initiatives have adressed scholarly blogs and their potential role for
academic communication:
• Oxford e-Social Science Project (OeSS, 2005-2012)
• MeRC project “Use and Relevance of Web 2.0 Resources for
Researchers“ (2008-2009)
• Research Consortium “Interactive Science“ (2009-2012, Gießen)
• Junior Researchers Group “Science and the Internet“ (2010-2012,
Düsseldorf)
• my postdoc project (DFG grant): “Networking, visibility, information:
a study of digital genres of scholarly communication and the motives of
their users“ (2012-2015, Berlin)
4. The Past
• Philosophical Transactions established in
1665 by Henry Oldenburg
• consisted of a range of subject areas
and genres of text
• enabled wide(r) dissemination of
knowledge based on discovery than had
previously existed
• allowed inventors to claim the right to
an invention
• dual function:
• spread knowledge
• enable attribution
5. dual aims of scholarly communication
l ind
ta ivi
cie du

spreading knowledge building a reputation
6. The Present
massive increase in speed and volume of output:
• ~50 mio. scholarly publications in existence
a heavily concentrated market:
• Reed Elsevier, Springer Science+Business Media and John Wiley & Sons
account for large portion of articles published globally
extreme imbalances:
• key inputs (research articles and peer review) are provided free of charge
• output it sold to intermediaries (libraries), not to end-consumers
• profit margins of up to 40%
changing environments:
• digital publishing
• open access
7. What happened in between?
• institutionalization and professionalization of academia
• corporate intermediaries have taken over publishing
• career success based on publications (“publish or perish“)
• computers and the Internet (duh)
• diversification of scholarly genres:
• formal (monographs, peer-reviewed articles)
• informal (gray literature, interpersonal communication)

9. Some flavors of scholarly blogs
Communicator Target audience Communicative goals
PhD student in English
peers*, self write, remember
literature
postdoctoral researcher in keep in touch,
peers*
information science network,
science enthusiast* experts, lay audience express opinions, educate
free-lance journalist lay audience, advertisers gain visibility
16. Observations
• scholarly blogs represent a return to a more diverse and less
utalitarian genre ecology of academic communication
• they cover a range of functions, including notekeeping, academic
publishing and science education
• their flexibility also makes them hard to evaluate from the perspective
of established publishing
• it appears unlikely that they will supplant formal genres of scholarly
communication in the near future, but like the first academic journals,
they are a response to widely-felt needs
• should funders incentivize scholarly blogging -- and if yes, what kind?
