Innovation in Scholarly Communication: Vision and Projects from High-Energy Physics
arXiv:0805.2739 · doi:10.3233/ISU-2008-0570
Abstract
Having always been at the forefront of information management and open access, High-Energy Physics (HEP) proves to be an ideal test-bed for innovations in scholarly communication including new information and communication technologies. Three selected topics of scholarly communication in High-Energy Physics are presented here: A new open access business model, SCOAP3, a world-wide sponsoring consortium for peer-reviewed HEP literature; the design, development and deployment of an e-infrastructure for information management; and the emerging debate on long-term preservation, re-use and (open) access to HEP data.
Based on a keynote talk of Rolf-Dieter Heuer at APE2008, International Conference on "Academic Publishing in Europe", Berlin, January 22nd-23rd 2008
