While writing involves interactions between writers and readers as each considers the other in creating and interpreting texts, research interest in written interaction is a fairly recent development. This paper uses a bibliometric analysis to trace the growing interest in written interaction over the past 30 years from its origins in philosophy, conversation analysis and sociocultural language pedagogy. To do so, we analyzed all 918 articles mentioning writing and interaction in the social science citation index since 1990, dividing the corpus into two periods following the massive increase in interest after 2005. We identify which topics have been most prevalent and which authors, publications, journals and countries most influential over time. The results indicate the growing importance of identity, genre, discipline, metadiscourse and stance, particularly drawing on corpus methods. We also note the participation of authors from more countries in publishing interaction research with the growth of authors from China becoming particularly visible. These findings may interest those working in written discourse analysis and scholarly publishing.
Blockchain is a revolutionary technology, which has the potential to fundamentally change many areas of activities, including scientific research and scholarly communication, together with the publishing industry. This paper focuses on the blockchain’s potential to transform scholarly communication and research in general. It highlights, how blockchain can touch many critical aspects of scholarly communication, including transparency, trust, reproducibility and credit. Moreover, blockchain could change the future role of every stakeholder, and it could have an important role in all research processes, not only scholarly communication. The paper shows that blockchain technology has the potential to solve some of the most prominent issues the scholarly communication is currently facing, such as issues around costs, trust and credibility, openness, and universal accessibility to scholarly information. The research presents basic information about blockchain technology. Based on the literature, an attempt was made to create a model, how to use this technology as a disruptive innovation in scholarly communication.
Adrian GleńDepartment of Contemporary Literature and Literary TheoryUniversity of Opole, Poland A Report on the Condition of the Critical Discourse in PolandAbstract: The article is an attempt to describe the condition of the discourse of literary criticism as practiced in Poland. The author investigates the process of gradual impoverishment and despecification of the language of literary criticism, which reveals itself via diverse socio-literary phenomena, such as the demand for shortenings and evaluative character of literary criticism, the places where literary criticism appears, the disappearance of the quality of the dialogue, and the way literary criticism functions in the Polish contemporary publishing market. A separate part of these considerations is devoted to the overview of the critics’ approaches to the condition of the discourse of literary criticism and the discussion of the postulate of the “privatization” of literary criticism.Keywords: literary criticism, Poland, critical discourse, scholarly publishing, academic dialog Raport o stanie dyskursu krytycznoliterackiego w Polsce Tekst stanowi próbę opisu stanu dyskursu krytycznoliterackiego w Polsce. Autor śledzi proces stopniowej pauperyzacji i despecyfikacji języka krytyki literackiej, ujmując owe zjawiska przez pryzmat zjawisk socjoliterackich (określone zapotrzebowanie na skrótowość i ewaluacyjny charakter krytycznoliterackiego pisania, miejsca ujawniania dyskursu krytycznoliterackiego, zanik dialogowości w tymże dyskursie, funkcjonowanie krytyki literackiej na współczesnym rynku wydawniczym w Polsce). Osobną część rozważań stanowi przegląd stanowisk krytyków wobec kondycji dyskursu krytycznoliterackiego oraz dyskusja na temat postulowanej tzw. „prywatyzacji pisania” krytycznoliterackiego. Słowa kluczowe: krytyka literacka, Polska, dyskurs krytyczny, wydawnictwa akademickie, dialog akademicki
