Interestingly, scholarly communication in science and engineering research in higher education that you really wait for now is coming. It's significant to wait for the representative and beneficial books to read. Every book that is provided in better way and utterance will be expected by many peoples. Even you are a good reader or not, feeling to read this book will always appear when you find ...

Key stakeholders in scholarly communication have been at odds over the purpose, mission and business models of publishing. This piece reviews developments in the United States but with a particular focus on efforts at reestablishing common purpose, such as (1) the Scholarly Publishing Roundtable created in June 2009 by the Chairman of Science and Technology Committee of the US House of Represen...

Journal-based citations are an important source of data for impact indices. However, the impact of journal articles is not limited to other scholarly material, but extends beyond formal scholarly discourse. Measuring online scholarly impact calls for new indices, complementary to the older ones. In this article, we study a possible alternative metric source, blog posts aggregated at ResearchBlo...

The dual mission of the Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy is to promote literacy in science, mathematics and technology among the general public and to attract future generations to careers in research, teaching and public service. At the March 5, 2010 UW-Madison Chemistry Department Colloquium, the director of the Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy (WISL) encouraged all Ph.D. ch...

Community-engaged scholarship (CES)-research, teaching, programmatic and other scholarly activities conducted through partnerships between academic and community partners-may result in innovative applied products such as manuals, policy briefs, curricula, videos, toolkits, and websites. Without accepted mechanisms for peer-reviewed publication and dissemination, these products often do not "cou...

the second the work of four anatomists is discussed in turn: M. Hurtado de Mendoza (1780 or 85-1849), A. Zuriaga y Clemente (1814-1866), L. Boscasa e Ignal (17861857), and M. Lopez Mateos (1802-1863). None of these is known outside Spain, but they nevertheless contributed importantly to the advancement of Spanish anatomy by teaching and research. This scholarly study makes better known the stat...

The effect of test on teachers, students, and their classroom behaviors has ever been amenable to scholarly studies. To explore such an effect, 20 professors offering MA TEFL preparation courses and 30 candidates received PLSP and APALS inventories. Paired-sample t-tests revealed significant differences. However, the respective componential multivariate ANOVA revealed non-significant and signif...

For many researchers, one of the biggest issues is the lack of an efficient method to obtain latest academic progresses in related research fields. We notice that many researchers tend to share their research progresses or recommend scholarly information they have known on their microblogs. In order to exploit microblogging to benefit scientific research, we build a system called MicroScholar t...

The peer review process has been discussed at length in most of the established texts on the scholarly communication process, such as Ziman (1968), Ravetz (1973) and Meadows (1974). These authors agree that the four main functions of the scholarly literature are dissemination of current knowledge, archiving of the canonical knowledge base, quality control of published information, and assignmen...
