Excellent- More about The Discourse of Scholarly Communication
The Discourse of Scholarly Communication reconsiders the place and purpose of scholarship in the Enlightenment, arguing for a New Enlightenment that prioritizes disciplinary boundaries, access to research, academic labor, and stewardship of scholarship in academic libraries and archives.

The Discourse of Scholarly Communication offers a fresh perspective on the role and significance of scholarship within the framework of the Enlightenment. In his insightful analysis, Patrick Gamsby contends that while the term "Enlightenment" is frequently featured in the mottos of numerous academic institutions, its historical, social, and philosophical dimensions are often overlooked. Gamsby employs a theoretical lens to revisit the core ideals of the Enlightenment, while also addressing the often conflicting concerns surrounding disciplinary boundaries, access to research, academic labor in the production of scholarship (including authors, peer reviewers, editors, and translators), the interplay between form and content (such as lectures, textbooks, books, and essays), and the stewardship of scholarship in academic libraries and archives.
Through this comprehensive examination, Gamsby makes a compelling argument that for the improvement of the scholarly communication ecosystem and the betterment of society, we should abandon the anti-Enlightenment rules of scholarship, such as the pressure to publish or perish, in favor of formulating a New Enlightenment. This New Enlightenment would prioritize the dissemination of knowledge, the promotion of open dialogue, and the recognition of the diverse perspectives and contributions of scholars from all backgrounds.
By recontextualizing the place and purpose of scholarship within the Enlightenment, The Discourse of Scholarly Communication provides valuable insights into the ongoing challenges and opportunities facing the academic community. It encourages us to embrace a more inclusive and interdisciplinary approach to scholarship, one that values collaboration, critical thinking, and the pursuit of knowledge for the greater good.
