Experiences were added, mainly in the physics domain, for a total of twenty-two major items, including four epijournals \u2013 and four supplementary resources, thus casting some light onto an unexpected richness and consonance of endeavours.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>These experiences rest almost entirely on the contents of the database ArXiv, which adds to its merits that of potentially setting the grounds for web 2.0 resources, and research behaviours, to be explored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Most of the experiences retrieved are UK- and US-based, but the resulting picture is international, as various European countries, China and Australia have been actively involved. Final remarks about creation patterns and outcome of these resources are outlined. The results integrate the previous studies according to which the web 2.0 is presently of limited use for communication in astrophysics and vouch for a role of researchers in the shaping of their own professional communication tools that is greater than expected. Collaterally, some aspects of ArXiv\u2019s recent pathway towards partial inclusion of web 2.0 features are touched upon. Further investigation is hoped for.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/isu-170856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,9]],"date-time":"2018-01-09T11:49:26Z","timestamp":1515498566000},"page":"371-387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Astrophysicists and physicists as creators of ArXiv-based commenting resources for their research communities.
