Abstract
This paper examines the insidious, largely ingrown, practices that have turned our most useful tool for sharing the fruits of our research, the scholarly communications system, into a bit of a mess. It reviews the development of the system, considers shocks to the system that have occurred and details seven problems that have developed with scholarly communications. The state of the system is compared with what happened to existing industries (printing, transportation communications and the internet network when they experienced network expansions and suggests that scholarly communications is reacting similarly. The paper concludes with four recommendations for repairing the system.
