Slide 21 of 22
Notes:
“The online medium has opened up…”
in the online medium, journals' only essential function will be to implement peer review (not disseminate research) - digital papers will be self-archived in researchers' own institutional Eprint Archives.
the contents of the Eprint Archives are being citation-interlinked to provide rich new indicators of research usage, impact and productivity (Open Citation Linking)
A debate about peer review in the online medium is underway – Harnad argues that online peer review can cut journal costs and increase the speed, efficiency and equitability of peer review
Discussion about the future of the RAE is also underway
