COPIM Experimental Publishing Workshop - Part 2: Promoting Experimental Publishing  · COPIM

"Following on from our previous post – summarising our discussion of inhibitions towards experimental publishing – this post looks at how we can stimulate experimentation, looking to understand how it can be encouraged within academic publishing and how some of the inhibitions described previously can be addressed. The following is a summary of our discussions.

Underlying our discussions were the following questions:

• How can we stimulate the uptake of experimental publishing and the creation of experimental long-form publications, and the reuse of and engagement with OA books?

• What projects/platforms/software do we need to be aware of and in touch with?

• What strategies should we devise to stimulate experimentation and reuse?...."
