Virtual scholarly collaboration: a case study

Published: 01 April 2004 Publication History

Abstract

Scholarly collaboration can certainly offer the potential to increase the productivity of scholars but can carry with it burdens and challenges not experienced by those who choose to write and publish individually. As scholarship itself becomes more complex the benefits of collaboration are likely to become more significant. Information technology can be used to facilitate scholarly collaboration over a distance in ways that were not available to scholars of previous generations. This is a case study, reporting and reflecting upon the experiences of authors in using information technology to facilitate their collaborative efforts. Parallels between scholarly writing and software programming are suggested.
