About Scholarly Communication
Scholarly communication is the process by which faculty members, students, researchers, and academics conduct their research, collect the information from that research into a publishable format (print or electronic), have their research reviewed, and distribute it. Various issues are associated with this process: the rising price of journal subscriptions; protecting and retaining author’s rights; use of alternative methods of publishing and the impact on tenure evaluation; and open access to research information.

A provost-appointed task force at Purdue is working to educate campus about these issues. This website is one step in that process. Please visit the links and read the news postings to learn more about scholarly communication issues and how they affect Purdue.
