English abstract
This article reviews and analyzes findings from research on computer mediated informal scholarly communication. Ten empirical research papers, which show the effects and influences of information & communication technologies (ICTs), or the effects of social contexts on ICTs use in informal scholarly communication, were analyzed and compared. Types of ICTs covered in those studies include e-mails, collaboratories, and electronic forums. The review shows that most of the empirical studies examined the ICTs use effects or consequences. Only a few studies examined the social shaping of ICTs and ICT uses in informal scholarly communication. Based on comparisons of the empirical findings this article summarizes the ICT use effects/consequences as identified in the studies into seven categories and discusses their implications.

本文的探索主題為數位環境中的非正式學術傳播現象,特別是各類資訊傳播科技(information & communication technologies,簡稱ICTs)使用於非正式學術傳播中所造成的社群關係及互動模式的變化。本文共分析十篇社會取向的實證研究,這些研究所關注的ICTs型態包含電子郵件、合力研究場域、及電子論壇。本文發現這些研究多在探討ICTs使用對非正式學術傳播產生之社會效應,僅少數討論社會文化脈絡對ICTs使用的影響與型塑作用。在比較各項研究發現後,本文歸納出ICTs使用的七個影響層面並提出未來研究之建議。
