One main goal of scientists and scholars is to get their results published. Only then does their work become visible, only then do their results get the recognition they deserve. It isn't very long ago that the only way of disseminating scientific and scholarly information was to publish it in a print medium – be it in the form of a journal article, a book or a contribution in a collective volume.
