Scholarly Communications @ CSUB

This guide serves as a resource for scholarly communication information at CSUB.

What Is Scholarly Communications?

Scholarly Communications (or ScholComm) is defined as "the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. The system includes both formal means of communication, such as publication in peer-reviewed journals, and informal channels, such as electronic listservs." Scholarly communication is frequently defined or depicted as a lifecycle documenting the steps involved in the creation, publication, dissemination and discovery of a piece of scholarly research.

At CSUB's Walter Stiern Library we assist faculty in areas related to copyright/fair use, open access (OA) publishing, research data management (RDM), institutional repository (IR) submissions, and open educational resources (OER).
