Description:
Activity model
of the Scholarly Communication Process, based on the Scholarly
Communication Life-Cycle Model developed by Bo-Christer Bjork (2007).
The model has been substantially developed and extended to: (i)
capture all of the activities and related costs throughout the
scholarly communication process; and (ii) highlight the differences
between alternative publishing models.
The model provides the foundation for the identification of
activity costs in the JISC EI-ASPM project. Reference:
