Date Posted: 16:44:44 08/23/10 Mon Dear all, I search some sites and read some texts. Through them I tried to answer the question 3 from part 1. Take a look. By reading the text “Scholarly and Research Communication, Vol 1, No 2 (2010)” I could notice the following and I want to share with you in hope of trying to answer: Part 1 Q : 3 Can work presented at conferences be published? Peer-reviewed papers presented at conferences can be published in conference proceedings as a common method of reporting scientific results. While in most scientific disciplines research results are normally reported in the form of peer-reviewed papers published in journals. Presenters of oral or poster presentations at conferences are required to submit a full paper that is peer-reviewed by the conference program committee. Acceptance of papers to conferences is in many cases considered prestigious and is also highly important for promotion. The date of publication is known to the authors before the paper is submitted. The conference proceedings are published as books or CDs distributed to the conference attendees, but the papers are made available shortly after the conference to the members of the associations through fully indexed research databases. Independent indexing engines also make these papers available to those who did not attend the conference. by reading the text: “Genres of Scholarly Publication” I could see the common publication genres. Monographs For several decades, monographs published by North American university presses and their European counterparts have set the gold standard for promotion and tenure, because of the peer review built into the publication process. A monograph is usually expected to offer new analytic and critical perspectives on its historical material and to sustain its arguments by detailed research, be it archival, stylistic, iconographic, technical, or socio-historical. Its structure tends to be sequential and linear, with any transcriptions of documents and technical data gathered in appendices. Surveys The surveys are supported by broad and deep reading and knowledge. They tend to give extended bibliographies rather than a full scholarly apparatus. Surveys often serve as textbooks and as general interest introductions to a field, and they have traditionally been the preserve of senior scholars. Museum Publications Museums offer rich opportunities specific to art history to advance research through exhibitions and publications based on individual collections and works of art. Since the 1970s, museum publication has shifted from curatorial focused museum journals and collection catalogues to summary handbooks and exhibition-driven publications. In the academic credentialing process, publications based on collections and exhibitions tend not to be considered as seriously as single-author monographs or peer-reviewed journal articles. Edited Volumes Supplementary textbooks are not especially vigorous, and production values are usually kept lower than for monographs and museum publications. Peer review tends to be minimal, and usually happens at the stage of the commissioned prospectus rather than for the completed manuscript. The genre may not be so different in scholarly content and rigor and concerns about originality and scholarly weight of chapters in edited volumes arise in promotion and tenure review. Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles A peer-reviewed journal article was and is the first step from Ph.D. dissertation to monograph. The journals maintain high standards of multiple, double-blind peer review and academic copy-editing. Given the continuous vigor of these editorial practices, peer-reviewed journal publication could again play a much more central role in academic credentialing. Electronic Publications Electronic publication has become the standard mode of scholarly communication. The humanities have been slow to follow, particularly the disciplines traditionally dependent on sustained, linear argumentation that stands in an ostensive relation to illustrations. Traditional forms do not communicate scholarship in a way optimally suited to the kinds of reading done well on desktop or handheld monitors. http://cnx.org/content/m13921/latest/ http://journals.sfu.ca/src/index.php/src/article/view/25/42 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
