Oxford Scholarly Communications (OSC)
The Bodleian Library and Oxford University Research Archive (ORA) have embarked upon a series of events to open up the debate about what has become known as ‘scholarly communications’ at Oxford.
Developments in policy, practice and technology are influencing change in the dissemination of academic research publications and other products of research. ORA and similar open access digital archives are just one strand in a massive evolving arena.
What do we think here at Oxford? How can we take advantage of new developments to maximise the impact of our research? Do we know what options for scholarly communications are available to us? What can we do to ensure that policies are in place to support Oxford’s internationally renowned researchers? How do we make sure that Oxford research is ‘out there,’ used and built on – and accessible for the long term?
If we ignore what is going on and do not grasp opportunities, is there a danger of being sidelined for other more easily accessible research outputs?
Join the debate.
