E Press and E Prints: Electronic Publishing at ANU Lorena Kanellopoulos
2
Background Information ANU E Press project has been funded by the Vice- Chancellor for 3 years ANU E Press was established to disseminate high- quality scholarship produced by the ANU research community ANU E Press was launched by the Vice-Chancellor on 18 May 2004 Editorial arrangements for Asia Pacific, Humanities and Indigenous Australia
3
What is ANU E Press? The ANU E Press is hosted by the Division of Information at The Australian National University. In partnership with scholars, academic publishers, librarians, and information technologists, the ANU E Press works to explore and enable new modes of scholarly publication within a digital repository environment.
4
Why do we need an E Press? The decision to establish the ANU E Press was based on a recognition of the urgent need to find an effective mechanism for disseminating ANU scholarship that is of high quality but lacks a ready commercial market a determination to lower or eliminate barriers to access inherent in the existing model of scholarly communication an acceptance that the operational overheads of the conventional academic press were no longer affordable a realisation that emergent electronic press technologies offered a feasible alternative to the conventional academic press in terms of cost and available infrastructure.
5
Why publish with ANU E Press? The primary aim of the ANU E Press is to assist in making available the intellectual output of the academic and postgraduate communities of the ANU. The ANU E Press undertakes that all material published on its website will be appropriately credentialled, indexed and marketed, and that online content will be accessible without charge.
6
What services does ANU E Press provide? The ANU E Press manages the submission, manuscript tracking, refereeing and publishing in electronic format of scholarly information, with content made available through the Internet. It also offers a Print- on-Demand (PoD) service in association with designated printeries. In supplying these services, the ANU E Press seeks to provide standardised publishing processes via a generic set of publishing workflows provide for minimal conversion through support for publishing and viewing content in a number of file formats enable content indexing in the form of subject headings and metadata convert original format to xml/html publish the works in electronic and print formats. Although the initial emphasis is on the publication of academic monographs, the ANU E Press will in due course widen its scope to encompass a broader range of materials and formats, and thereby exploit the true potential of the electronic environment.
