The aim of this paper is to determine to what extent the use of Internet as a way of acquiring information for research purposes is a successful tool. The Internet can facilitate the research in different ways, some of which are being presented in the paper. Researchers have access to a wide range of databases available on the Internet, also having the opportunity to use sites designed as a social media for academics such as ResearchGate or Academia. Apart from that, there exists some degree of correspondence between open access philosophy and hacker ethics which is being related to academia to point to the possible ethic value researches have towards one another. The paper focuses on advantages of using Internet for the purposes of facilitating research, at the same time introducing the topic of collaboration and co-authorship as vital in today’s ‘publish-or-perish’ academia world. 


With the beginning of the Internet and the diversity of its applications, And the increase in the digital publishing of open access sources, and the multiplicity of sites, which take the network measurements as an application axis. For this reason, many indicators have appeared, which are concerned with measuring the quality of the scientific scholar output. This study, tries to diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of the approved indexes, and overcome them by designing a new index that combines all indexes characteristics and exceeds the negatives of, some of them as a Standardized index used to evaluate the scientific outcomes of scientists scholar output. After applying and comparing the Standardized index, we reached the value that was more accurate and objective than the benefits of other indexes and the possibility of overcoming some of the negatives accompanying the other indexes.

The study of law focuses, among other aspects, on important issues relating to equality, fairness and justice in as far as free access to information and knowledgeis concerned. The launching of the Open Access to Law Movement in 1992, the promulgation of the Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarshipin 2009, and the formation of national and regional Legal Information Institutes (LIIs) should serve as an indication of how well the legal world is committed to freely publishing and distributing legal information and knowledge through the Internet to legal practitioners, legal scholars and the public at large aroundthe world. In order to establish the amount of legal scholarly content which is accessible through open access publishing innovations and initiatives, this studyanalysed the contents of websites for selected open access resources on the Internet internationally and in South Africa. The results of the study showed that there has been a steady developing trend towards the adoption of open access for legal scholarly literature internationally, while in South Africa legal scholarly literature is under the control of commercial publishers. This should be an issue for the legal scholarship which, among its focus, is to impart knowledge about the right of access to information and knowledge.

<p>Detailed logs of students’ computer use, during independent study sessions, were captured in an open-access computer laboratory. Each log consisted of a chronological sequence of tasks representing either the application or the Internet domain displayed in the workstation’s active window. Each task was classified using a three-tier schema according to its likely context of use: The top-level categories being <em>Academic</em>, <em>Communication</em>, <em>Information</em>, <em>Recreation</em> and <em>Applications</em>. Students switched tasks frequently – median task duration was only 31 seconds. Approximately 30% of all tasks were <em>Academic</em> with the majority of these involving the university’s learning management system. <em>Communication</em> and <em>Recreation</em> tasks accounted for 18% and 9% of tasks respectively. Up to one half of all tasks were not related to study. Multitasking was very common during independent study sessions, particularly when <em>Communication</em> tasks were active. This study confirms that students are likely to regularly switch tasks, attend to distracting tasks, and multitask during independent study. Each one of these behaviours has the potential to negatively impact on students’ learning, and when combined they indicate that students are relatively inefficient at managing competing tasks and their time when studying.</p>

A living discourse needs to be communicated and disseminated. The Internet is a very powerful tool in this respect. Internet has been around for a while now, but how to utilize the Internet as a communication and dissemination tool, is still evolving (Tananbaum, 2007).NAROS is a planned service. The intention of NAROS is to utilize the possibilities of the Internet to improve the awareness and the accessibility of scholarly works on topics related to northern areas, thus hopefully paving the way for expanding the arctic discourses. NAROS will collect information on applicable documents through a standard way of automatically harvesting metadata, and utilize the fast growing trend of making scholarly works available through open archives and open access journals. Through the search service of NAROS, researchers, students, and others will have easy access to scholarly documents within the thematic scope of the northern areas.

AbstractUK government policy is firmly directed, through the agencies which control university and research funding, towards a situation in which much academic output will be made accessible to all on the Internet without payment. This has far-reaching consequences for all academic publishers, including the Society, by no means all of which have yet been taken into account by the policy-makers. Members of the Society need to understand the issues and to consider how best to adapt to changing circumstances and to defend its position where necessary.
