Description

The present volume gathers together the talks presented at the second colloquim on the Future Professional Communication in Astronomy (FPCA II), held at Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) on 13-14 April 2010. This meeting provided a forum for editors, publishers, scientists, librarians and officers of learned societies to discuss the future of the field. The program included talks from leading researchers and practitioners and drew a crowd of approximately 50 attendees from 10 countries. These proceedings contain contributions from invited and contributed talks from leaders in the field, touching on a number of topics. Among them: – The role of disciplinary repositories such as ADS and arXiv in astronomy and the physical sciences; – Current status and future of Open Access Publishing models and their impact on astronomy and astrophysics publishing; – Emerging trends in scientific article publishing: semantic annotations, multimedia content, links to data products hosted by astrophysics archives; – Novel approaches to the evaluation of facilities and projects based on bibliometric indicators; – Impact of Government mandates, Privacy laws, and Intellectual Property Rights on the evolving digital publishing environment in astronomy; – Communicating astronomy to the public: the experience of the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
