2Information overload
Yearly ca. 1.8 million articles published in around 28,000 scholarly journals.
And more on the way… Digitalization – new outlets
Economic logic of Open Access
Publication of negative results, all clinical trials, data sets, micro- publications
China, India, Brazil and others entering the research community

How do researchers find relevant articles? Search engines (Google)
Indexing services (pubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO)
Networking (Social media, conferences)
Topical bundling (journals, collections)

14Future of scholarly communication
What aspects of scholarly journals are most important to users?
Topic-specific bundling Editorial selection Quality assurance Trust and reliability
ScienceOpen Collections provide these functions beyond individual publishers or journals.

20In summary…
Beyond the Impact Factor: we need new ways to rate and rank content across publishers
New tools for content owners (publishers, societies, authors) to promote their work
Aggregators leading the way
