[Irtalk] 101 Innovations in Scholarly Communication - the Changing Research Workflow

[Hilton Gibson]

In the fast developing world of scholarly communication it is good to take
a step back and look at the patterns and processes of innovation in this
field. To this end, we have selected 101 innovations (in the form of tools
& sites) and graphically displayed them by year and also according to 6
phases of the research workflow: collection of data & literature, analysis,
writing, publishing & archiving, outreach and assessment. This overview
facilitates discussion on processes of innovation, disruption, diffusion,
consolidation, competition and success, but also of failure and stagnation,
over the last 3 decades. We describe some of the trends, expectations,
uncertainties, opportunities and challenges within each of the workflow
phases. Also, based on the graphical overview we present a juxtaposition of
typical traditional, innovative and experimental workflows
​.
