Het Center for Studies in Higher Education (CSHE), UC Berkeley heeft een rapport uitgebracht getiteld Assessing the Future Landscape of Scholarly Communication: An Exploration of Faculty Values and Needs in Seven Disciplines.
“Our premise has always been that disciplinary conventions matter and that social realities (and individual personality) will dictate how new practices, including those under the rubric of Web 2.0 or cyberinfrastructure, are adopted by scholars,” aldus de Principal Investigator and Director, Higher Education in the Digital Age Project, Diane Harley, Ph.D. “That is, the academic values embodied in disciplinary cultures, as well as the interests of individual players, have to be considered when envisioning new schemata for the communication of scholarship at its various stages.”
In de executive summary wordt geconcludeerd dat academische communicatie tradities “which rely heavily on various forms of peer review, may override the perceived ‘opportunities’ afforded by new technologies, including those falling into the Web 2.0 category.”
Het rapport geeft eveneens aan, dat vijf belangrijke onderwerpen in het huidige communicatiesysteem aandacht verdienen: "the development of more nuanced tenure and promotion process; a reexamination of peer review; competitive high quality and affordable journals and monograph publishing platforms; new models of publication that can accommodate material of varied length, as well as rich media and embedded links to data; and support for managing and preserving new research methods and products".
Meer achtergrond informatie over het meerjaren project is terug te vinden op de speciale website van het CSHE.
