Scholarly Communication
This guide introduces key aspects of scholarly communication and directs you to resources and services that support publishing, sharing, and evaluating your scholarship.
Scholarly communication is the system through which research and creative work are created, evaluated, shared, and preserved. It includes decisions about where and how to publish, how to make work openly available, how to manage rights and reuse, and how to track the impact of scholarship over time.
At EMU, scholarly communication also includes the services and tools that support you in publishing, sharing, and sustaining your scholarship.
Use these guides to explore different types of scholarly work and how to choose appropriate venues for sharing your research and creative activity.
These guides help you understand your rights as an author, how to reuse others’ work responsibly, and how to make your scholarship more open and accessible.
Use these guides to manage your research data, organize your sources, and share your work through EMU’s institutional repository and related services.
These guides focus on building your scholarly identity, using academic networking tools, and understanding metrics that describe the reach and influence of your work.
This guide helps you recognize and avoid predatory or low-quality publishers when deciding where to submit your work.
