The Value of Scientific Information — •Hans E. Roosendaal — School of Business, Public Administration and Technology, Department of Computer Science, University of Twente, 7500 AE Enschede/The Netherlands

" Authors want to publish more, readers want to read less."

The above law largely determines the values in scientific information relevant for the individual researcher. It will be discussed how these values in turn largely determine the value chain of scientific information. These values make IT a strong engine for change, in particular as IT has the potential not only to innovate the research information system but also the educational information system at large. As a result of these developments, it is speculated that we will see a transformation of the value chain leading to more symmetrical roles for academic institutions and publishers.
