Martin Weller: The Digital Scholar- themes, issues and directions

In 2011 Martin Weller published The Digital Scholar, which examined the possible impact of digital, networked technology on scholarly practice. Much has changed since then so using the book as a basis, this talk considers changes in digital scholarship since its publication, identifying five key themes: mainstreaming of digital scholarship; the shift to open; policy implementation; network identity; criticality of digital scholarship. This talk will consider each of these, and possible future directions for digital scholarship.
