Research output
● 3.5% pa increase in quantity of research articles published
● Growth in number of journals likely to slow down • Journals sold as collections to library consortia• Difficult to generate revenue from adding a new journal
● Increasingly competitive to get published

The role of the library● Primary information resource for academic
institutions● Budget holder for acquiring academic research
content● Guide to researchers and students in navigating
an huge quantities of research knowledge
● We think that it is likely to keep it’s role as a filter between excess information and useful knowledge• Increasingly complex landscape, students and researchers
are going to need support

New models for publishing research - Open Access
● Growth in open access as an alternative model of research communicationTop three OA publishers are growing fast:
- BMC (18k articles in 2009, +21%)
- PLOS (6k articles in 2009, +50%)- Hindawi(4k articles in 2009, +75%)
- 8% of articles published - 4% of articles indexed by ISI 2009

New Models - SAGE Open
● More government OA mandates coming● Stagnant or declining university serials
budgets: OA eliminates price barriers● Declining department budgets: social
scientists increasingly require outside funding to support research
● More support for OA at university level: COPE

New formats for publishing research
In an online environment will new formats emerge for publishing research?
- Something between a research article and research monograph
- New product combining content types
![Page 14: The future of research communication Jan 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546d70c7af7959e3298b50e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

New formats for content
Concise summaries of cutting-edge research, 50 to 125 pages
• bridge between journal articles and a contextual literature review
• report of analytical techniques
• new or emerging topic
• case study or clinical example
• core concepts explained for students

The future of research communication
Depends on changes in:
● Quantity and spread of research● library resourcing● models of publishing● technology
