Scholarly Communication is the name given to a wide field of activities
related to the different ways in which the authors of academic works
publish and disseminate their results. It includes tasks whose connections to
this publication are not only direct, but mutually influenced. These are the tasks
of dissemination, treatment, analysis, and information retrieval, such as those
carried out by databases and other agents. But the issue goes even further and
other activities must be added, equally interconnected, such as preservation
and increased visibility, along with specialized actions carried out by university
libraries. It is concluded that academic communication, despite its breadth and
diversity (or precisely because of it), should be studied by a unified discipline
that, thanks to a holistic vision, helps to overcome its main problems. This
paper presents some of these problems and defends the need for both the field
of activities itself and the discipline that studies them to receive a clearer and
more determined impulse.
