SAS Open Journals


Project Summary

This project is hosted by: School of Advanced Study

Research interests:
Digital resources
Project period:
01-May-2011 - 31-Oct-2011
Project summary:

The project created an overlay journal system based on SAS-Space, with the journal 'Amicus Curiae' as the initial example, using the open source Open Journal Systems. This system is now made available, at minimal cost, to both other existing and new journals produced within the School, and to publications by cognate learned societies. Such a system increases open access publishing capacity in the humanities and social sciences, and further fulfils the School’s remit from HEFCE for research promotion and facilitation.
