The Future of Scholarly Communication: Building the Infrastructure for Cyberscholarship

Abstract

On April 17–19, 2007, the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States and the British Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) held a workshop in Phoenix, Arizona. The objective of the workshop was to build on the findings of recent Cyberinfrastructure reports ([ACLS], [CI]) to identify opportunities and strategies for managing information created and used by researchers and scholars in the sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. Participants included representatives from Europe and the United States with affiliations in government, higher education, industry, and private foundations.
