The international scientific journal «El profesional de la información» (EPI) is planning its July/August 2015 issue (v. 24, n. 4) on
Scientific information
- Information sources (databases, journals, books, repositories, harvesters, publishing platforms…).
- Information retrieval systems, search engines…
- Dissemination, outreach and scientific collaboration in social networks, reference managers…
- Product and service evaluation and comparison. Do we have the resources we need? Are the conventional databases worth in a market dominated by the major search engines and publishing platforms? Can harvesters compete with Google? Will someone be able to compete with Google?
- We are especially interested in theoretical and methodological studies, although we may also accept novel practical experiences.
We publish articles in English or Spanish.
