The document discusses how new tools and technologies are changing the scientific research environment and researcher communications. It notes that digital tools like electronic journals, the internet, and identifiers are transforming scholarly communications from solely print-based to incorporating new digital information resources. The document also examines how these technologies allow for multidimensional measurements of research activities and outputs. It explores how research evaluation and assessment may change with new needs from different stakeholders. Keywords mentioned that relate to these trends include open access, open science, big data, and altmetrics. The goal of the event is to learn about the latest technologies and discuss their effects on researchers and research as well as potential implications for science and technology policies.

3. Web and E-journals
(for scholarly communications)
• Good to start explaining today’s event historically
• From print to digital, on the web (for journals)
– Print only to digitalizing print afterwards
– Digitalizing first and print < here now in major
– Born-digital (Electronic only)
• Search, Link, Aggregation, and Integration
• EJ is common tool for researchers
– But web is not just for developing of EJ
• Identifier is the most important key to next stage
– From just an alternative to print journals to new information

7. Today’s Goal and Challenge
• Learning the latest technologies and tools for
scholarly communications
– How they could change the world of researchers (quickly)
– By what factors and environments new trends are emerging
• Discussing
– how these new trends affect researchers and research activities
– how research evaluation methods would change
– any possibility for other activities (ex. Innovation, S&T foresighting)
– If possible, any political implementation for STI policies? (or not)
