Change comes for science publishing paradigms | Science

How the Internet Disrupted Science tracks various changes in scientific publishing and the initiatives that have been undertaken to “disrupt” how science is published in scientific journals. Within science and technology fields, disruption is often framed as a positive change, one that shifts stale paradigms and allows new methods and theories to develop. In this book, authors Kent Anderson and Joy Moore present a much more negative view of disruption, arguing that the internet has set scientific publishing off track rather than enabling it to do more.
