Scholarly Communication: Issues for Health Sciences Libraries in Clinical Settings

The National Library of Medicine recently implemented a new web page designed specifically for issues relating to scholarly communications. Issues that are covered include costs, accessing research, author’s rights, increased impact, and the effect on budgets.

For the health-science patron, the most common type of scholarly communication is the peer-reviewed book or journal. Peer-reviewed journals used to be available only through paid subscription, but technology has adapted to changes with accessing journals. This web page helps define issues and offers suggestions about these changes.
