Scholarly communication is an umbrella term that describes the many ways in which scholars and researchers share their work:

• Publishing in print and electronic journals
• Archiving their work in digital repositories or on subject-specific websites
• Using email listserv mailing lists and online communities
• Creating new venues for dissemination, especially online

Currently, the field of scholarly communication is undergoing major changes, as open access and copyleft philosophies have begun to impact scholars' attitudes about sharing their work in a major way.
