English abstract:
In the paper-based world, CAAD-associations, such as ACADIA, and scientific publishers aim at getting the right people together and for making sure their work gets distributed to their peers. Electronic networks, such as the Internet, are providing scientists with the means to pursue those activities on their own. In this paper we present the goals of an EU project called SciX. The goal of SciX is to analyze the business processes of scientific publishing, to invent new publication models and through a series of pilots to demonstrate how this should work. In the envisioned scenarios, professional associations such as ACADIA play an important role. Their members are the potential users of SciX 's platforms, authors and readers of the papers. Associations could also become the publishers and archivists of the knowledge created within their respective community. The objectives of this contribution focus on involving the ACADIA-community in the developments in SciX on fine-shaping the goals as well as on defining the requirements and monitoring the usability of the pilots.
