Description

This Medical Library Association Journal Club was conducted at the Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center at the University of New Mexico from August 2015 - May 2016. Ten topics within scholarly communications were studied, including an introduction and background to scholarly communications, academic publishing and the role of publishers, digital curation and preservation, copyright, open access and the role of peer review, scholarly communication in libraries, scholarly impact and metrics, and open educational resources (OERs). The readings for each topic are included, many of which are open access publications.
