The authors argued that we need to rethink traditional modes of academic knowledge production and dissemination. They review the linear models through which knowledge dissemination happens in formats like academic journals. In these formats, scholars send the finished products of their work through closed-door peer review processes, where revisions that happen are not transparent to readers and revisions based on public feedback is very limited. The authors delineate several formats- from pre-print repositories, blogs to social networks, as ways to make knowledge production more dynamic. Dynamic publishing according to them is geared towards making the process of knowledge creation open or transparent, continuously able to revise and edit content, and open to multiple authorial contributions (among other goals).
