Over the past several years, JSTOR commissioned Ithaka to complete a series of studies examining scholarly communication practices in various disciplines including history, economics, biosciences, and education.  The goals of this work were to understand how research is conducted and disseminated in the disciplines, and to identify the importance of different scholarly resources.  JSTOR and Ithaka have elected to share edited versions of these studies as the research presented here may be of interest to others in our community or beyond.

For more information about these studies, contact Heidi McGregor, Director of Marketing & Communications, JSTOR.
