Introduction to Scholarly Communication

This short Library video will introduce you to scholarly communication. Scholarship isn't static; it's a conversation that's constantly evolving as research findings are shared, published, built upon, proven correct or discredited. That's what academia is all about -- people producing research and others responding by criticizing, supporting and / or building upon that research, which then generates new ideas and new knowledge. The knowledge produced and shared through this cyclical process is scholarly communication. There's different ways to contribute to scholarship. You might already be familiar with scholarly journals. Other ways research and /or data might be shared include: on websites, open repositories, at conferences or discussions on blogs or other online communities. Because scholarly communication is a conversation where ideas can be debated over long periods of time it's important to know that conversations can evolve, they have a history and we don't know where they will end. When researching, it's important to know that a source might not represent the only -- or even the dominant perspective on a topic. Some questions such as the capital of a country or the boiling point of a chemical element might have a single answer but there are many that don't. As you read, write and talk in your studies you will gain knowledge about the unique language, processes and approaches in different subjects. This will help you understand the contributions of particular articles, books and other scholarly pieces to help you understand the conversations that are going on. Good researchers seek out a variety of perspectives within conversations, not just the ones that they agree with. While we can find scholarly communication by academics documented in places like academic journal articles and books, there's ways you can play a role in scholarly communication happening around you at the university. As student there's a variety of ways to contribute to scholarly conversations --this might include participating in class discussions, submitting to an undergraduate research journal or doing a conference presentation or poster.
