<aside> đź’ˇ Open Access (OA) has started way back in 1990's. Project Gutenberg and ERICÂ were two famous examples of knowledge sharing in early days of open access (minus the internet). Years prior, in 1960's people have been trying to connect computers, to make them talk to each other. The internet (ARPHANET) was first launched to overcome access and structural constraints of communications. And now, those computers are US.

“Digital Scholarship” is defined as any scholarly activity that makes extensive use of one or more of the new possibilities for teaching and research opened up by the unique affordances of digital media. These include, but are not limited to, new forms of collaboration, new forms of publication, and new methods for visualizing and analyzing data.

Digital scholarship is the use of digital evidence, methods of inquiry, research, publication and preservation to achieve scholarly and research goals.

Digital technologies have led to the easy reproduction and commodification of these creations, prompting institutions to rethink their positions. The discussion considers the characteristics of copyrightable digital works, competing interests in the ownership of such works, and the federal legal provisions in place that offer an understanding of copyrights in these contexts. Many universities are unclear how to address the copyrighting of online classes and media presentations. Current law does not cover these specific areas of media produced in the academic world. >> Intellectual Property Policies in Academe: Issues and Concerns with Digital Scholarship

This paper examines the changing landscape in which digital scholars find, collaborate, create and process information and, as a result, scholarship is being transformed. It discusses the key elements required to build an institutional infrastructure, which will not only support new practices but also integrate scholarly literature into emerging and evolving models that generate true digital scholarship. The impact of disruptive technologies has been examined on research practice and publishing, with particular reference to the changing world of digital scholarship. If scholars are to maximize the full potential of new models for the creation and dissemination of their research, their parent institutions have a responsibility to build supporting institutional infrastructure and to validate digital scholarship as a valued model of scholarship. https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/2/4/83/htm
For some, digital scholarship is considered difficult to evaluate because it more often crosses customary boundaries of teaching, scholarship, and service than does traditional scholarship. There are challenges, however, of at least two kinds. Evaluation of digital scholarship demands new conceptions of traditional measures of peer review and scholarly authority. In the rapidly changing digital environment, this project is necessarily a work-in-progress designed to open conversation. https://academiccommons.org/digital-scholarship/digital-scholarship-and-the-tenure-and-promotion-process/
