Final Report on CSHE/Mellon Study on Faculty Practices in Scholarly Communication

The Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of California, Berkeley, with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has been conducting a major multi-year study of how faculty needs and research practices shape their choices about scholarly communication. The final report on this work, Assessing the Future Landscape of Scholarly Communication: An Exploration of Faculty Values and Needs in Seven Disciplines is now available at http://escholarship.org/uc/cshe_fsc. This is a very important look at where faculty thinking and practice stands in regard to the changing scholarly communication environment, including a  sensitive examination of differences across disciplines. Updates on this work have been presented at some CNI membership meetings; we hope to be able to host a report on this most current work in the near future.
