Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

"As part of its efforts to promote broader access to academic research, Duke University Libraries has announced a new service to help members of the Duke community create and publish peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journals....The Libraries are piloting the service with two journals. Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies, founded in 1958, is edited by Kent J. Rigsby, professor emeritus of Classical Studies, and Joshua D. Sosin, associate professor of Classical Studies. GRBS’s first issue using the new open-access service has just been published....The second journal, andererseits: Yearbook of Transatlantic German Studies, is a new publication published jointly by Duke’s Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures and the Germanistik/Literatur und Medienpraxis of the Universität Duisburg-Essen in Essen, Germany. That publication will become open-access with its second issue later this year. The Libraries’ new service helps prospective editors establish their journal online, providing guidance and advice as editors develop the journal’s structure. Journals are built on a free, open-source platform known as Open Journal Systems...."
