Charlie Schick: What will the future of scientific publishing look like?

Physically-based content-centred publishers, such as in music, books, film, and news have been struggling to adjust to radical changes brought on by digitisation of content, the spread of the Web, and the decentralisation of the creation and distribution of content. The publishers of scientific journals are just one more traditional print-based business built around the [...]

It is argued that we need to re-examine, in a mobile age, received wisdom concerning the [...]
