There is intellectual value in identifying and attributing old threads, and in developing new ones. The gathering together of a range of voices to focus on a particular theme generates potentially valuable attention for that theme (2). To the extent that this attention can be measured and evidenced, it also has value within the economy of contemporary public intellectual life. That value is measured relatively, and often numerically, in visits, downloads, citations and what any institution or person is willing to pay to support or access it (3, 4).

收藏价值/重视收藏

识别和归因旧线程以及开发新线程具有智力价值。将一系列声音聚集在一起以专注于特定主题会产生对该主题的潜在有价值的关注 (2)。就这种关注可以衡量和证明的程度而言，它在当代公共知识生活的经济中也具有价值。该价值通常以访问、下载、引用以及任何机构或个人愿意为支持或访问它而支付的费用来衡量，并且通常以数字形式衡量 (3, 4)。
