The goal of the Canada Research Chair on the Transformations of Scholarly Communication (CRCTSC) is to increase understanding of how knowledge is currently being disseminated by analyzing the characteristics of papers written by academic researchers. More specifically, Vincent Larivière and his team are investigating how new types of knowledge production are being used, how new sources of data are shared and changes in academics’ working practices. In particular, the CRCTSC is analyzing new forms of scientific articles and the various channels that are used to disseminate knowledge.
