MediaCommons is an in-development all-electronic scholarly publishing network in media studies, being created in partnership with the Institute for the Future of the Book and with the support of New York University and the National Endowment for the Humanities.〔(MediaCommons » About MediaCommons )〕〔(MediaCommons » Blog Archive » if:book, NYU, the NEH, and MediaCommons )〕 MediaCommons established its first presence on the web in November 2006 with a now-defunct development site named "making MediaCommons,"〔(MediaCommons Project Moves Forward | Academic Commons )〕 and opened its current web site in March 2007. The first project established on MediaCommons was (In Media Res ), an ongoing feature in which notable scholars in media studies present and comment upon brief, timely videoclips, aiming to promote dialogue between scholars and the broader public about the significance of media representations and forms.〔(In Media Res » About In Media Res )〕 MediaCommons claims among its goals a transformation in scholarly publishing, suggesting that the network "will not simply shift the locus of publishing from print to screen, but will actually transform what it means to 'publish,' allowing the author, the publisher, and the reader all to make the process of such discourse just as visible as its product."〔(MediaCommons » About MediaCommons )〕 The network promises to speed up the processes of publishing, but also to shift the focus of scholarly publishing back to communication amongst scholars.〔 For this reason, the editors describe MediaCommons as a "scholarly network" rather than an electronic journal or press.〔(MediaCommons - more than a digital journal | Education IT | ZDNet.com )〕 MediaCommons is also an experiment in reimagining the processes of peer review in the humanities, opening up the process to public debate and discussion, and using both web-based metrics and commentary to create a process of "peer-to-peer review."〔(if:book: on the future of peer review in electronic scholarly publishing )〕 The backbone of this system is a social networking system currently being built by the NYU Digital Library Technology Services.〔(New York University Libraries: Digital Library Technology Services )〕 MediaCommons has thus far published two commentable papers, one on (the future of scholarly publishing ), and the other on (CommentPress ), the WordPress theme developed by the Institute for the Future of the Book that allows for paragraph-by-paragraph commenting on lengthy documents. The co-coordinating editors of MediaCommons are Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Avi Santo, and the project draws on the support of an editorial board of scholars from across the digital humanities.〔(MediaCommons » Founding editors )〕 == External links == * (MediaCommons ) * (Institute for the Future of the Book ) * (Article on MediaCommons on Inside Higher Education ) * (Article on MediaCommons on Ars Technica ) * (Article on MediaCommons on ZDNet ) * (Article on MediaCommons on AcademicCommons ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MediaCommons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
