The Public Knowledge Project has announced the release of Open Monograph Press in 1.0. OMP is a free, open-source platform: “for managing the editorial workflow required to see monographs, edited volumes, and scholarly editions through internal and external review, editing, cataloguing, production, and publication.” In developing OMP as a new module, PKP has also provided a basis for the transition and redesign of their Open Journal System and Open Conference System software. (For a recent review of Open Conference System, see Melanie Schlosser’s “Conference publishing pilot” post on Ohio State University’s Digital Scholarship @ The Libraries blog.)
