This Scholarly Communication Toolkit contains tools to help you navigate the scholarship process from discovery and creation of knowledge to its sharing, preservation, and re-use. The toolkit is not an exhaustive catalog of resources. It contains select tools to address the common questions that arise in scholarly communication. For additional resource on scholarship, visit the library's Scholarship: Publishing and Presenting Guide.
The toolkit is divided into four sections (with tabs along the top of the page):
The section that fits where you are in the process is most likely to have the tools you need, but be sure to familiarize yourself with the entire toolkit so that you don't miss a valuable resource.
If you cannot find a tool to fit your needs, or you would like help using one of the resources in the toolkit, please contact the library. We are always happy to help.
Scholarly communication is the system through which research articles, presentations, and other scholarly works are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated, and preserved for future use.

In short, scholarly communication is creating, sharing, and discussing our scholarship.

Resources listed on these guides are compiled by librarians at the R.A. Williams Library. We accept content recommendations, and after review, may include suggested resources on a guide. Our time is limited, so we generally do not reply to unsolicited recommendations from individuals not affiliated with AdventHealth University or notify them regarding whether or not we have linked to suggested content.
