Document Summary
The first step to ebmgt us askng a good, practical question. Diverse and disordered universe of publications in numerous formats. How is information accessed: direct subscription, subscription-based databases, working papers and pre-publications, research and professional organizations, electronic books. Difficulty learning of the existence of relevant research. Overwhelming number of business books makes it difficult for unadvertised academic books to compete. Databases are like gated communities, with severely limited access to full text. Managers value ease of use and general accessibility . Managers can ask their local librarians for advice. Managers can use libraries at colleges or universities. Researchers can create collaborations and social gathering to discuss research. Educators can help students become more informed consumers of research. Researchers can participate in the open access movement. Orgs can provide a single access route to reputable business research. Peer reviews help to identify the best available. Independent scientists anonymously review research to determine whether it merits publication in a scientific journal.
