| Detail: |
In response
to a number of pressing intellectual, economic, social and technical issues
that currently face scholarly publishing, the Public Knowledge Project
has developed open source systems that will support an alternative knowledge
economy for scholarship. This presentation demonstrated the potential
of new management and publishing systems for improving both the accessibility
and scholarly quality of research journals and conferences. The systems
were designed for editors and conference directors, with few technical
skills, and intended to enable more research to be made open access, as
well as supporting the publishing activities and research capacities of
developing countries.
