Authors : Mecibah Ouarda .

Abstract

The study sought to highlight academic social networks in support open access to scientific publications. Through non-formal scholarly communication among researchers and academics, this contributes significantly to increase the pace of scientific production. We used a descriptive approach, to explore the views of professors regarding the availability of their publications and their evaluation by peers In this study, we found that library science professors in Algeria rely on academic social networks, especially Academia.edu in scientific communication with their peers, and they also make their scientific publications available through this academic support in order to increase the visibility of their scientific publications.
