Publishing and Scholarly Communication

Scholarly publishing sits at the intersection of knowledge production and institutional power, shaping which ideas reach audiences, in what form, and under whose terms. Historians and philosophers of science have increasingly turned their attention to how university presses, editorial gatekeeping, and peer review norms have evolved alongside the disciplines they serve, recognizing that the infrastructure of dissemination is never neutral. The rise of open access and digital monographs has forced a reckoning with longstanding economic models and assumptions about what a scholarly "work" even is. Pressing questions remain about how to preserve rigorous editorial standards while broadening access, and about whose voices and institutions have historically been centered in decisions about what counts as legitimate knowledge.
