[IRTalk] OASPA guest post by Jean-Claude Guédon: Scholarly Communication and Scholarly Publishing

[Bernie Folan]

We recently published a new guest blog post by Jean-Claude Guédon
<https://oaspa.org/guest-post-by-jean-claude-guedon-scholarly-communication-and-scholarly-publishing/>
on the OASPA blog.

In this thoughtful and insightful post, Guédon explores how scholarly
publishing should relate to scholarly communication. He posits that though
aligned, publishing and communication have diverged and argues that
journals and the concept of “version of record” are a legacy from print
with some processes getting in the way of optimal scholarly communication
and says that "now is the time to make some fundamental choices."

OASPA and Guédon welcome your comments on the blog and wide sharing of this
piece.

*The OASPA blog is a space for community engagement on issues related to
open access and open research. We welcome thoughtful engagement and public
debate in order to foster a transparent exchange of views, experiences and
ideas between all those working in the open access ecosystem, with the
overall aim of contributing to the global advancement of open access in a
way that supports scholars and their institutions, and that gives voice to
the whole spectrum of models and approaches within our membership and
ultimately furthers our mission to advance open access and ensure a
diverse, vibrant, and healthy open access community.*

Please get in touch <info at oaspa.org> if you are interested in publishing a
