PHOTOCOPIES VERSUS OFFPRINTS: DOES THE USE OF PHOTOCOPIES RATHER THAN OFFPRINTS AFFECT SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION?

Abstract

The traditional scenario concerning scholarly communication envisages the authors of papers in learned journals communicating with each other by letter, and exchanging offprints of their work. Such communication permits the transfer of more highly detailed and specific information than can be published in the necessarily confined space of the journals themselves, provides scholars with news about on‐going or future investigations, and above all cements partnerships in research, furthering the formation and functioning of invisible colleges.
