Communicating Research explores how changing technologies affect
academic research practices. The book begins with the rise of
electronic media and fundamental changes in the dissemination of
research. It then outlines the problems and concerns of
researchers, librarians, and publishers: inadequacies of copyright
laws, the rise of interlibrary loan practices, and the unchecked
broadcast of working papers. These problems lead to a discussion of
research practices across scholarly disciplines and an
investigation of the biases and intentions of practitioners. The
book includes historical data and observations on the current scene
in order to make predictions about the future.
Communicating Research draws conclusions about the ways that
differing norms, such as the differences in the ways chemists and
sociologists conduct, write, and publish their research, affect
publication trends. The book also looks closely at the efficiency
of publication strategies and their effectiveness in reaching the
researchers' targeted audiences. Meadows uses two avenues to
explore the communication of research findings. One is the medium
used to convey the message; the other is the needs of the research
community. He offers a solid base of analysis for understanding
researchers, their biases, their assumptions about the
communication, and the publishers.
