Reimagining the Humanities Book: Bringing Living With Machines to Life Through Experimental Publishing Workflows and Open Research Practices - Gallon - 2025 - Learned Publishing - Wiley Online Library

"

Summary

• Limited options currently exist for humanities researchers looking to engage with open research practices and experimental forms in book publishing.
• The adapted publishing workflows and formats used for the experimental open access book project, Living with Machines, offer a model for reuse by publishers and authors.
• Iterative publication, open peer review and multimedia integration increased community engagement with the book and maximised the research data and other outputs generated by the research project.
• Closer coordination between editorial and production functions, new forms of collaboration between publishers, authors and reviewers, and clear process documentation were key learnings in the effective running of this experiment."
