Welcome to the Scholarly Communication LibGuide

Scholarly communication is the system through which research and scholarly publications and works are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated, and preserved for future use (ACRL Principles and Strategies for the Reform of Scholarly Communication). Advancements in technology have transformed the ways we conduct research and publish findings. Libraries support faculty and researchers in various aspects of scholarly communication, including data management, publishing, open access, institutional repositories, copyright, and research impact metrics.

This LibGuide is designed to provide information on current trends and issues in scholarly communication as well as supply links to helpful resources.
