Libraries HomeScholarly Communications at UO
Most academics engage in both teaching and research. Both are intimately tied to communications, and in particular to the patterns of scholarly communications that have developed over the past century. We're all familiar with the process of faculty authors producing research articles, peer-reviewed journals vetting the scholarship and distributing it, and libraries organizing, archiving, and making it available to other scholars and students as the foundation on which new knowledge is built.
This web page is focused on University of Oregon initiatives in the area of scholarly communications, and specifically on services in support of UO authors and editors. It reflects both support for the traditional patterns and the evolution of new modes of scholarly communications.
