Abstract:

In the shifting landscape of sharing knowledge, it is no longer only about writing papers. After a paper is written, what comes next is an integral part of the process.

This special issue delves into the transformative landscape of scholarly communication, exploring novel methodologies and technologies reshaping how scholarly content is generated, recommended, explored and analysed. Indeed, the contemporary perspective on scholarly publication recognizes the centrality of post-publication activities. The criticality of refining and scrutinizing manuscripts has gained prominence, surpassing the act of dissemination. The emphasis has shifted from publication to ensuring visibility and comprehension of the conveyed content. The papers compiled in this special issue scrutinize these evolving dynamics. They delve into the intricacies of post-processing and close examination of manuscripts, acknowledging the impact of these aspects. The overarching objective is to stimulate scholarly discussions on the evolving nature of communication in academia.
