DESCRIPTORS Faculty Publishing; Higher Education; *Information Technology; Periodicals; *Publications; *Scholarly Communication; Science Education; *World Wide Web; Writing for Publication ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to consider the literature that looks at the implications of information technology forscholarly journals which have historically been a linchpin of communication amongscholars in which research results are released, discussed, vetted, anddisseminated among faculty, students, and scholars. With theexpansion of the Internet/World Wide Web, great attention has been focused ontraditional publication processes, changes to business models, implicationsfor intellectual property rights, and modes of communication. Thisstudy consequently examined recent literature on information technologyand scholarly journal publication to characterize the impact of the Internet/World Wide Web on the nature, function, and status of scholarly journal publishing in the last decade. The study focusedprimarily on the peer-reviewed journal article since this marks the entry ofinformation into the formal domain because the peer- reviewed journal articleis, and has been, for at least two decades, the most extensive mode foundin the published literature and represents the greatest amount of resources.This study is not a discussion of the whole process of scientificcommunication but instead an examination of a subset of that process:scientific journal publishing and how it may have been affected by the new information technologies. This effort covers, as noted, juried periodicalarticles with a lesser reliance on chapters in anthologies and monographs aswell as conference proceedings, dissertations, and reports from the "greyliterature" together with limited consultation with experts. Attention hasbeen focused on the period since 1994, the point at which theexpansion of the Internet and proliferation of communication technologies appears to haveintensified discussion of the future of scholarly publication, particularly in the sciences. The research conducted by King, McDonald, and Roderer in their1980 seminal study of the production, use, and economics of science journalsin the United States, together with work published in 2000 by Tenopir andKing, provides the starting point of this study.

Collins Senior Assessment Studies Manager DIVISION OF SCIENCE RESOURCES STATISTICS The Division of Science Resources Statistics (SRS) fulfills the legislative mandate of the National Science Foundation Act to... provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on scientific and engineering resources and to provide a source of information for policy formulation by other agencies of the Federal Government... To carry out this mandate, SRS designs, supports, and directs periodic surveys as well as a variety of other data collections and research projects. These surveys yield the materials for SRS staff to compile, analyze, and disseminate quantitative information about domestic and international resources devoted to science, engineering, and technology. If you have any comments or suggestions about this or any other SRS product or report, we would like to hear from you.

As soon as an idea is expressed in a physical medium, such as writing a paper, it qualifies for copyright protection. Copyright is a legal right that gives the copyright holder exclusive rights over how others use their work. The level and type of protection offered by copyright varies between countries. A form of intellectual property, copyright can be dealt with like other types of property – it can be acquired, disposed of or licensed. Copyright is time-limited. The period of protection varies, but in most countries a journal article created at the present time will be protected for between 50 and 70 years from the death of the last surviving author. By means of a number of local and international laws and conventions, copyright which arises in one country is recognised and protected in many others. Treatment of copyright in the digital environment is evolving at an unprecedented rate. Copyright exists to protect the rights of an owner of an original piece of work by imposing restrictions on reuse but it does not always fit well with how we use and share information in the digital sphere.

Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 155301. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical Dear colleagues, 2011 has been another successful year for Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical. The journal continues to have a broad audience and readers can enjoy high-quality research across theoretical and mathematical physics. This collection of highlights displays some of the most highly rated articles published in the journal during 2011. All of these articles were chosen primarily for their high-quality science. This selection displays the broad scope of the journal and demonstrates that it is a meeting place for researchers to share mathematically rich work across different disciplines. In 2011 we began to publish Insights: these are online, author-written news items highlighting the key achievements of recent work published in the journal to readers who might not be specialists in the field. All papers in this collection that have an associated Insight article are clearly marked. IMPACT FACTOR Some of our best articles have been published as Fast Track Communications (FTCs). FTCs * are short articles presenting important new developments in mathematical and theoretical 1.564 physics. FTCs benefit from accelerated publication and our recommended reader service, * As listed in ISI®’s 2011 Science Citation Index Journal Citation Reports where we will notify researchers selected by the authors when the article is published.
