In 2003, ACRL defined scholarly communication as "the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. The system includes both formal means of communication, such as publication in peer-reviewed journals, and informal channels, such as electronic listservs." Scholarly communication is frequently defined or depicted as a lifecycle documenting the steps involved in the creation, publication, dissemination and discovery of a piece of scholarly research.
If you want to know how other authors have responded to a specific article, you can look at who has cited the article since it was published. All you have to do is search for the article title in Google Scholar (link below) and then click on the "cited by" link below the search result.
