Scholarly Communication and the Publish or Perish Pressures of Academia

Scholars of library science, information science, and other disciplines explain that, with the Internet and other electronic media, researchers must publicize their finding rather than just get them published in order to advance in their field. Among their topics are constructing a proper research report, the changing face of scholarly communication and its impact on library and information centers, local linguists mastering academic writing in English: seeking explanations in sociocultural contexts, measuring the research impact of scholarly publications using altmetrics: a case study of Thapar University in India, and search engines and meta-search engines for effective information retrieval and scholarly communication.
