Digital Scholarship: Scholarly Communication

Digital Scholarship encompasses the use of digital evidence, methods of inquiry, research, publication and preservation to achieve scholarly and research goals.

Scholarly Communication: defined...

Scholarly Communication is 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”
