“…35 As Hey and Trefethen put it, it is evident that e-science data generated from sensors, satellites, high-performance computer simulations, high-throughput devices, scientific images and so on will soon dwarf all of the scientific data collected in the whole history of scientific exploration. 36 The US National Research Council suggests that:…”

This paper examines changing research practices in the digital environment. A review of the literature and our own field research in Australia suggest that there is a new mode of knowledge production emerging, changing research practices and bringing new information access and dissemination needs. Adjustments will be required to accommodate these changes, but new opportunities are emerging for more cost‐effective and sustainable information access and dissemination. It will be necessary, however, to take an holistic approach and treat the creation, production and distribution of scholarly information, the management of information rights and access, systems of review and evaluation and the underlying infrastructure as parts of a single research information and scholarly communication system.

“…the massive (and growing) amounts of digital information now being generated, combined with a proliferation of format types. The Web is but one exemplar of this, another being the 'data deluge' now apparent in many scientific disciplines, whereby vast amounts of data are being generated by high-throughput instruments or streamed from sensors or satellites (Hey & Trefethen, 2003;Szalay & Gray, 2006 (Gomes & Silva, 2005). By contrast, the first domain harvest of the Australian Web in 2005 took six weeks and captured 185 million documents or 6.69 Terabytes of data (Koerbin, 2005).…”

“…17 How to manage the data deluge from 'e-science' -large-scale, international projects in bioinformatics, proteomics, and grid computing -and how to get from raw data to authoritative, peerreviewed knowledge is a crucial issue. 18 From the CrossRef point of view the major issues in these areas are interlinking all this data with the peer-reviewed literature and applying the same model of identification with DOIs and standardized metadata to databases and other types of content so that they can be persistently cited and linked to. CrossRef is working with the Protein Data Bank and other database producers on these issues.…”
