Scholarly Communications
In an academic research environment, scholarly communications become central part of the process of deliberations. Scholarly communications are carried out using certain channels of communicat ions by scholars and academicians. Most important ones are scholarly journals, conference proceedings, research monographs, dissertations, research reports and personal memoirs. Internet now provides much easier and instant means of connection.
Social media is a boon for any type of communication.
The learned societies – the formal institutions epresenting scientific and think tank communities – are primarily responsible for initiating scholarly journals
in their respective subject areas, where members can communicate their results of scientific research and get valuable feedbacks from readers of these journals
or fellow members of these learned societies. Since the mid-twentieth century and later, learned societies have started collaborating with for-profit publishers – for achieving global outreach, global readership and global authorship.
