Greetings. I have just updated my blog for your interest. Hat Tip: “Starting an Open Access Journal: a step-by-step guide” http://oaopenaccess.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/hat-tip-starting-an-open-access-journal-a-step-by-step-guide/
“We can change the scholarly publishing world, but it’s up to you.” This is the contention of Martin Paul Eve, doctoral researcher in the department of English at the University of Sussex, Great Britain. My hat tip goes to Martin Eve for posting an excellent five-part guide for starting an open access journal on his blog. He designed the guide “for [humanities] academics who want to establish their own journals that are: · Peer reviewed, in a traditional pre-review model · Open Access and free in monetary terms for authors and readers · Preserved, safe and archived in the event of catastrophe or fold · Reputable: run by consensus of leaders in a field” The guide covers, in more or less checklist fashion, the budgetary, technical and social groundwork essential to get an open access journal off on the right foot. … Gary F.
