Is the ‘E-Incunabula’ the One Solution for Scientific Communication?

José Morillo-Velarde

Chapter 3.3 in Emerging Digital Spaces in Contemporary Society, 2010, pp 78-79 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1452, with the appearance of Johannes Gutenberg’s so-called 42-line Bible and the dawn of the incunabular era of the printing press, two seemingly unrelated realms—technology and culture—merged. The result was the new Renaissance society, where easier access to sources of information and knowledge led to the questioning of all assumptions of the medieval world. That wave has reached even unto our day although, in the 1970s, it was engulfed by another wave that was orders of magnitude larger, the one spawned by digital media.
