Scientometrics have become an essential element in the practice and evaluation of science and research, including both the evaluation of individuals and national assessment exercises. Yet, researchers and practitioners in this field have lacked clear theories to guide their work. As early as 1981, then doctoral student Blaise Cronin published "The need for a theory of citing" —a call to arms for the fledgling scientometric community to produce foundational theories upon which the work of the field could be based. More than three decades later, the time has come to reach out the field again and ask how they have responded to this call. This book compiles the foundational theories that guide informetrics and scholarly communication research. It is a much needed compilation by leading scholars in the field that gathers together the theories that guide our understanding of authorship, citing, and impact.

Knowledge, Spirit, Law // Book 2: The Anti-capitalist Sublime takes up where Knowledge, Spirit, Law // Book 1: Radical Scholarship (2015) left off, foremost in terms of a critique of neo-liberal academia and its demotion of the book in favor of various mediatic practices that substitute, arguably, for the one form of critical inquiry that might safeguard speculative intellectual inquiry as long-form and long-term project, especially in relationship to the archive or library (otherwise known as the “public domain”). This ongoing critique of neo-liberal academia is a necessary corrective to processes underway today toward the further marginalization of radical critique, with many of the traditional forms of sustained analysis being replaced by pseudo-empirical studies that abandon themes only presentable in the Arts and Humanities through the “arcanian closure” that the book as long-form inquisition represents (whether as novel, non-fictional critique, or something in-between). As a tomb for thought, this privileging of the shadowy recesses of the book preserves, through the very apparatuses of long- and slow-form scholarship, the premises presented here as indicative of an anti-capitalist project embedded in works that might otherwise shun such a characterization.

Global thought-leaders define the future of research communication. Governments and societies globally agree that a vibrant and productive research community underpins a successful knowledge economy but the context, mechanisms and channels of research communication are in flux. As the pace of change quickens there needs to be analysis of new trends and drivers, their implications and a future framework. The editors draw together the informed commentary of internationally-renowned experts from all sectors and backgrounds to define the future of research communication. A comprehensive introduction by Michael Jubb is followed by two sections examining changing research behaviour and the roles and responsibilities of other key actors including researchers, funders, universities, research institutes, publishers, libraries and users. Key topics include; changing ways of sharing research in chemistry, supporting qualitative research in the humanities and social sciences, creative communication in a 'publish or perish' culture, cybertaxonomy, coping with the data deluge, social media and scholarly communications, the changing role of the publisher in the scholarly communications process, researchers and scholarly communications, the changing role of the journal editor, the view of the research funder, changing institutional research strategies, the role of the research library and, the library users' view. This is essential reading for all concerned with the rapidly evolving scholarly communications landscape, including researchers, librarians, publishers, funders, academics and HE institutions.

Art historians have been facing the challenge - even from before the advent of globalization - of writing for an international audience and translating their own work into a foreign language - whether forced by exile, voluntary migration, or simply in order to reach wider audiences. Migrating Histories of Art aims to study the biographical and academic impact of these self-translations, and how the adoption and processing of foreign-language texts and their corresponding methodologies have been fundamental to the disciplinary discourse of art history. While often creating distinctly "multifaceted" personal biographies and establishing an international disciplinary discourse, self-translation also fosters the creation of instances of linguistic and methodological hegemony.

Die kritische Einstellung zur ,Internationalität' gehört zu einem der ideologischen Kernaspekte der im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland zwischen 1933 und 1945 propagierten Wissenschaftsauffassung: An die Stelle selbstverständlicher internationaler Austausch- und Kooperationsbeziehungen traten ab 1933 politisch gesteuerte, stark restringierte und kontrollierte Außenkontakte und ein auf Autarkie und Hegemonie setzendes wissenschaftliches Selbstverständnis. Doch auch während dieser Zeit gab es im Bereich der Wissenschaft überraschend umfangreiche und vielfältige internationale Kontakte. Die Diskrepanz zwischen der Absage an die Internationalität der Wissenschaft einerseits und die praktizierte und mitunter sogar offen proklamierte internationale Ausrichtung wissenschaftlicher Arbeit andererseits ist in der Forschung, insbesondere in der Geschichte der Philosophie und der Philologien, erst in Ansätzen erschlossen. Der vorliegende Band nimmt die grenzübergreifenden Wissenschaftsbeziehungen zwischen 1933 und 1945 anhand von Forschungsreisen, Weltkongressen und bilateralen Tagungen in den Blick, die als aussagekräftige internationale Kontaktformen symptomatisch Aufschluss über internationale Austausch- und Kooperationsnetzwerke sowie Konkurrenzkonstellationen geben können. Taking a critical stance toward "internationality" was one of the central aspects of the notion of scholarship propagated in National Socialist Germany between 1933 and 1945. However, during this time, German scholars had surprisingly extensive contact with their international peers. This volume examines international academic relations by looking at research trips, world congresses, and bilateral conferences.
