MORPHISM
(Dimaggio & Powell, 1993)
In order for newer colleges/universities to
be able to compete with the older
universities with well-established research
administration they have to rely on the
experiences of the older universities to
guide their own developments.

16. According to Fox (2001)
Women’s lower productivity relative to
men’s is critical to study not only
because of the size and persistence of
the gap but also because other forms
of gender inequality are perpetuated
by it.

17. Nota Bene:
The larger gender difference in productivity
documented by Cole and Zuckerman (1984) has
not disappeared in recent years (Fox, 2005; Long
1992; Long, Allison, and McGinnis, 1993; Prpic,
2002; Xie & Shauman, 1998)

20. The cycle starts with
sending out an explorer, in
his ship fully loaded with
equipment, bearing a
mission of drawing a
complete map of the
remote land.
LATOUR’S CYCLE OF ACCUMULATION

21. The explorer arrives in a
remote land, meets with native
people, draws a map on
notebooks and sketchbooks,
leaves the remote land, and
finally returns to the
metropolitan center with a map
in his hand.
LATOUR’S CYCLE OF ACCUMULATION

22. The next explorer is sent
out, this time not only
with ships and
equipment but also with
maps drawn from the
previous expedition.
LATOUR’S CYCLE OF ACCUMULATION

23. He comes back with
another, arguably
better, map. A new
map is added to the
existing piles of maps
LATOUR’S CYCLE OF ACCUMULATION

24. Latour argues. It doesn’t’
have to be people that are
sent to draw maps or to
“bring the lands back” to
the center, and an
expedition is not the only
type of the cycles of
accumulation.

(1980-2010)

86. “Libraries clearly will not scale into the 21st
century using the current model. We must

economic parameters of our institutions, and
yet still supports the traditional values of
libraries and scholarship”

123. QUESTION
To what extent has the Web 2.0
facilitated the scholarly
communication of your work?

124. is the term given to
describe a second
generation of the
World Wide Web that
is focused on the
ability for people to
collaborate and share
information online.

125. A group of new Web-
based information tools
and services—such as
social networking sites—
that are easy to adopt
and use and that enable
their users to be
producers and
publishers rather than
just consumers of
information (O’Reilly,
2005; Anderson, 2007)

126. WEB 2.0 brings the promise of enabling researchers to
create, annotate, review, re-use and represent
information in new ways, and of promoting
innovations in scholarly communication practices—
e.g. publishing ‘work in progress’ and openly sharing
research resources—that will help to realize the e-
Research vision of improved productivity and reduced
‘time to discovery’ (Arms & Larsen 2007; Hannay
2009; Hey et al. 2009).

129. CYBERSHCHOLARSHIP DEFINED
Is the marriage
between high

computing and digital
libraries that can
bring together vast
quantities of material
(Arms, W., 2008)

130. QUESTION
Why should we embrace
cybersholarship?
We are living in
a data-driven science

131. CYBERSHCHOLARSHIP
In the cyberage,
collections of digital
content and the
software to interpret
them have become
the foundation of
discovery.
(Richardson, 2008)

132. CYBERSHCHOLARSHIP
When content
becomes
infrastructure, there is
value in investment to
support it.
(Richardson, 2008)

133. CYBERSHCHOLARSHIP
The preservation and
organization of information
for new forms of
scholarship enable others
to discover unexpected and
novel associations without
having to replicate the
primary data
(Richardson, 2008)

134. SOME FUTURE TRENDS
In future, text/data
needs to be in
formats that support
machine processing
(e.g. XML or
Xtensible Markup
Language rather
than PDF
(Richardson, 2008)

135. THE PROBLEM IN CYBERSCHOLARSHIP
The apathy of the academic,
scientific and information
communities coupled with
the indifference or even
active hostility and greed of
many publishers renders
literature-data-driven science
still inaccessible
(Richardson, 2008)

136. EXAMPLE OF CYBERSCHOLARSHIP AT THE MACRO LEVEL
The National Virtual
Observatory
Its goal is to bring together previously
disjoint sets of astronomical data, in
particular digital sky surveys that have made
observations at various wavelengths.
Important astronomical results that are not
observable in a single dataset can be
revealed by combined analysis of data from
these different surveys.

137. ENTREZ
Entrez provides a unified view of biomedical
information from a wide variety of sources
including the PubMed citations and abstracts,
the Medical Subject Headings, full text of
journal articles and books, databases such as
the protein sequence database and Genbank,
and computer programs such as the Basic Local
Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) for comparing
gene and protein sequences.

of digital curation and data

The tendency of scholars to sign away all their
rights when an article or other content format
is published, and the pressure to make research

165. THE AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LEARNED

even if no plan has been put forward
for addressing the IP issues
surrounding many formats.

174. Statistics Overview

177. provides a simple way to broadly
search for scholarly literature. From
one place, you can search across
many disciplines and sources:
articles, theses, books, abstracts and
court opinions, from academic
publishers, professional societies,
online repositories, universities and
other web sites. Google Scholar
helps you find relevant work across
the world of scholarly research

178. “Yet consistently the literature points
to the basic failure to date to embed
the institutional repository in the
intellectual life of the
scholar/researcher.” The ISSUE

179. “If self-archiving, i.e. relying on
academics to either deposit their own
works themselves or allocate the task
to someone else such as a research
assistant, serves as the basis for
populating the repository, then this
concept/workflow has failed to fulfill
initial expectations.”

180. “The majority of the academic staff
felt that they did not have the time to
self-deposit, and were particularly
unwilling to do this where they had
already provided publication details to
a departmental administrator.”

181. “At Curtin University of Technology, an
integrator system has been designed
and implemented to share data
between an institutional eprint
repository and a University
publications management system..”

Building content in institutional

supporting the future of scholarly
communications and thereby
supporting cyberscholarship.

227. IN CONCLUSION
Cyberscholarhip offers a number

228. IN CONCLUSION
Given the promises and the
