Institutional repositories such as KU ScholarWorks containing supplementary materials, working papers, and pre-prints extend the options for disseminating scholarly work beyond traditional publication of peer-reviewed articles and books. Open-access journals whose costs are covered through author-fees and other non-subscription revenue are emerging alongside traditional subscription-based journals.

WU Libraries: Scholarly Communication

Scholarly communication refers to the formal and informal processes by which the research and scholarship of faculty, researchers, and independent scholars are created, evaluated, edited, formatted, distributed, organized, made accessible, archived, used, and transformed. In recent years the concept of scholarly communication has also begun to connote faculty collaborating with publishers, librarians, and others, in solving the grievous problem of the inability of libraries to keep up with the ever-increasing volume and cost of scholarly resources.
