Designing scholarly communications--A discussion paper for the Perth Working Conference on Human Benefit through the Diffusion of IS Design Science Research

The attached paper (available to logged in users) presents suggestions for the design of a scholarly communications system for the IFIP Working Group 8.2 (WG8.2) community.
