2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications
Generation Digital – All published digital
• Steven Hall, 2014.9.11 • IOPP 9 journals e-only/all books e-first • 5-10 years: 90% journals e-only
– Non-textual materials digital • NTM is original, basic and authoritative • Print-based communication is a mistake • out of historical practicality?
– Evolving scholarly record • Knowledge is inherently multi-media • and service platforms • Only e-journals are real journals • Only smart books are real books
• R & D & L are digital business

ORBIS, Stanford University
2 Challenge: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications
• Generation Open – OA Journals: 10488, DOAJ, 2015.04 – OA papers: 72 millions, BASE, 2015.04 – OA papers % – 2013 Gold OA: 14.4%--18.8%, D. Lewis, 2013 – 2004-2011(2013): 45-50%, Science Metrix, 2013 – Transit: Nature Communications: Oct 20, 2014 – New ways of OA:
– Offsetting for Gold OA: JISC, VSNU, FWF, … – Transformation to OA: SCOAP3, MPG, …
– Time to reach 90% OA papers • 2019 to 2025, Science Metrix, 2013.08
• Funders’ push
• CAS、NSFC: 开放获取政策 • Open Data、OER/OCW、OSS、……
US OSTP Directive for Open Access
G8 Open Data Charter
2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications
• Generation Analytics • New Normal of Research
– Interdisciplinary, Translational – Collaborative, Strategic – Open science & Open innovation
• New Normal of information needs – Research informatics
• Structures, trends, emerging topics • Overlaps, gaps, conflicts, turning
points, abnormality • R&D paths, roadmaps, possibilities,
– Computer-assisted k-production • CAD in research and policy study
• New Normal of Learning – Research-based – Solution-driven – Community-Interactive

2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications
• The Changing Universe: e-science
2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications
• The Changing Universe: publishing trends
2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications
• The Changing Universe: the new normal of info consumption
2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications
• The Changing Universe: Where is the library?
We already out-sourced the “core business” –collections!
We are losing the reason/right to maintain a traditional library?
We only hold on to a diminishing part of scholarly knowledge!
