Huddersfield Open Access Publishing project blog

This is the blog for the Huddersfield Open Access Publishing project, which is part of the JISC Digital infrastructure programme. This project aims to develop a platform using EPrints software as a low cost, sustainable method to convert the University journal, Teaching in Lifelong Learning, from its existing model of a print subscription journal to an open access e-journal with a print-on-demand option. This platform will then be used as a pilot to convert other existing University journals in the future as well as a ‘best of Huddersfield research’ title that would draw its content from the Repository. The project will develop a toolkit for other institutions to use, including protocols to promote open access and self-archiving as well as a fully functional platform from EPrints that can be adopted for other open access journal
