1998年,丹麦国家技术知识中心及丹麦图书馆宣布,纸质印刷的科学期刊对于他们来说将成为历史。他们决定逐步淘汰印刷品,而通过网络将电子科学期刊直接送到研究人员的办公桌。2003年1月,中国人民大学图书馆因不堪图书重负,不得不将部分图书及期刊移置其他大楼。这两件典型事例说明,纸质印刷的,学术出版面临范式转换。美国科学哲学家库恩认为,范式是支配某一行业或领域的一组共有的传统、方法、标准、模式、信念或理论。实际形势中出现的危机使新范式的产生成为必然,从而导致如同革命似的范式转换。网络载体的优越性及新一代信息检索者的趋向,使网络学术出版应运而生。学术出版由纸质媒介向网络载体的转换因而也是一种范式革命。
In 1998, the Danish National Center for Technological Knowledge and the Danish Library announced that science journals printed on paper would be history to them. They decided to phase out prints and send the e-journals online to researchers’ desks. In January 2003, the library of Renmin University of China was forced to relocate some books and periodicals to other buildings due to overburdened books. These two typical examples show that paper printing and scholarly publishing face the paradigm shift. Kuhn, the American philosopher of science, argues that a paradigm is a group of shared traditions, methods, standards, models, beliefs or theories governing an industry or field. The crisis that has taken place in the actual situation has made the emergence of the new paradigm inevitable, leading to the paradigm shift as in the case of revolution. The superiority of the network carrier and the trend of the new generation of information searchers make the network academic publication come into being. The conversion of academic publishing from paper media to web media is thus also a paradigm shift.
