Publishing Technology Chosen to Build Academic Publishing Site for GSE Research

"Publishing Technology plc has been selected to build an academic publishing platform for GSE Research. The new online platform for research...will be built using Publishing Technology’s semantic web-based publishing software, pub2web. The new platform will be among the first of its kind offering the option of an open peer-eview model alongside the traditional peer-eview system....GSE Research’s prime objective is to bridge the gap between the scholarly research community, policymakers and the corporate world by building an inclusive and interactive community that shares its views on papers and research in real time. It will be a completely digital model free of the constraints of the traditional scholarly publishing model, which has generally replicated content from print into online. GSE is the brainchild of one of the world’s top sustainability researchers, Professor Walter Leal, and academic publisher John Peters (former CEO, Emerald Group Publishing). Authors submitting content to GSE Research will be able to share research both inside and outside of the academic community with speed and efficiency. It will also be possible to discuss papers and opinions and to network within the community using the site’s socially collaborative approach. All contributors will have the option to choose between an open access model and a more traditional subscription-based model when it comes to publishing their content...."
