herbert van de sompel It is -- at least -- legitimate to reflect on the possibility of a digital system for scholarly communication that is not merely a scanned copy of the paper system: Serials crisis Publication delay Peer-review suppressing ideas Digital archiving Rewarding (citation dbases) stabilizes the system Existing players competing for functions

herbert van de sompel Registration via preprints: suggests the feasibility of a deconstructed system for scholarly communication. suggests the possibility of preprints being the starting point of a new value chain in which the raw material -- the non-certified preprint -- is in open access.

herbert van de sompel sustaining versus disruptive technologies; disruptive technologies: somehow perform worse than established ones not accepted by core customer base but: convenient, cheap, … disruptive technologies can create competition in an existing value network by creating a new one first. => preprints as a disruptive technology The Innovator’s Dilemma {Christensen}

herbert van de sompel Other functions must still be fulfilled. In a fully electronic scholarly communication system, the implementation of the functions can be distributed can be fulfilled by different parties

herbert van de sompel Achieve interoperability by ensuring that information about the fulfillment of the functions: can travel across the system can be shared by nodes of the system metadata
