Abstract
[English abstract] Digital technology and economics favour the severance of certification (peer review) from distribution (electronic). Electronic distribution and communication may be organised in a cost-efficient manner that is free to both authors and readers. Knowledge overlay services exist in a complementary relationship to the increasing salience of open content and open access in scientific publishing and data provision. These new digital overlay services encompass certification (as staged and possibly interactive peer review – improved quality), literature and data awareness services (for structured reading and usage – increased efficiency) and new software tools (e.g. for text mining – enhanced scope with structurally new ways of handling publications and data). The markets for scientific publishing and scholarly communication are at the threshold of change. Digitalisation, the spread of English as academic language and the further expansion of research, education and the knowledge-based economy mean that a single global market will emerge that is segmented according to users in academic research, higher education and knowledge-intensive industries and services. Presently, none of the experimental movers or incumbents on the market has found a business model that answers the challenge of the coming global knowledge society.
