Subject: Scholarly publishing and Web 2.0
Fellow information persons :-) ,
I am sceptical about the importance of Web 2.0. However, while a healthy scepticism is a good thing blind stubbornness is not. Maybe there is a role for these new media in academic communication and maybe even publication.
I would be grateful for any pointers to actual use of these media (social networks, social book marking, Blogs, etc) to supplement or even replace some aspects of academic communication in any academic discipline. Examples from STM would be particularly interesting.
I will attempt to summarise responses back to the list.
Regards,
John Smith,
