New paper on Scholarly Communication from Berkeley
CSHE
The Center for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) at UC
Berkeley has made a number of new papers available at
http://cshe.berkeley.edu/publications/papers/papers.html
Of particular interest to CNI-announce readers will be the
report
The Influence of Academic
Values on Scholarly Publication and Communication
Practices. Diane Harley, Sarah
Earl-Novell, Jennifer Arter, Shannon Lawrence, and C. Judson King.
CSHE.13.06. (September 2006)
which describes the findings of a project funded by the Andrew W.
Mellon foundation that seeks to understand how various academic values
(including tenure and promotion concerns) shape choices in scholarly
publication and scholarly communication in different disciplines. You
can find more information on this project at
