OA-HVerlag: Open Access University Press

The OA-HVerlag research project was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) from 2018 to 2020. The aim of the project was to construct and develop a media-neutral, sustainable, and cost- and staff-efficient publishing workflow for the production and dissemination of OA monographs. The results were published in the handbook “Open Access Publication Workflow for Academic Books: A Handbook for Colleges and Universities”.

Currently, the OA-HVerlag is supervised by students as part of their bachelor studies in publishing technology. As part of this, the project team publishes a monthly Open Access newsletter.

OA-STRUKTKOMM: Open Access Structured Communication

The research team of OA-STRUKTKOMM deals with the question of how data exchange between individual actors and systems of Open Access publishing can be made more robust and compatible. In addition to the development of a communication structure for systems involved in the workflow, the further development of an out-of-the-box publication server is taking place. Furthermore, in order to establish the present Open Access workflow model, knowledge transfer will be realized in order to support university publishers in deciding on individually suitable workflow strategies.
