Digitizing Scientific Articles

Special Challenges

Pages 55-63 | Published online: 12 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

The Oklahoma State University Library Electronic Publishing Center and the Oklahoma Academy of Science (“OAS”) entered into a partnership to bring the Proceedingsof the OAS to the Web. The Proceedingsinclude articles from a variety of scientific disciplines, including chemistry, physics, biology, botany, zoology, geography, geology, and sociology. As most major digitization projects and most documentation of digitization practices have concentrated on documents from the humanities, there were few guidelines to follow for digitizing scientific articles, and we encountered some unexpected challenges. This article discusses the special problems that arise when digitizing scientific articles and ways to meet these challenges.
