On March 30–31, 2015, in the Hamburg branch of the ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, the speakers will include names like Mark Armstrong (Oxford University), Bruno S.

In recent years, scholarly communication has changed in many ways, partly in response to the growth of the internet and because of technology in general. These internet-driven changes to the research process are affecting the roles of publishers, libraries, and scientific communities.
