Additional Information
Plans for expansion/future directions: At present we support the technologies that allow for open access publishing (Dspace, OJS) as well as training on these technologies and some general limited support regarding how to start a new journal. We have discussed fuller support of the editorial/publishing process through provision of copy editing and journal/issue formatting support. In the next year, we hope to expand our publishing service to provide open monograph hosting in a system other than our repository, most likely OMP or possibly Scalar.View All Entries
