Summary:

The MIT Press announced today the launch of MIT Open Publishing Services, a scholar-focused, MIT-branded hosting and publishing services operation. MIT Open Publishing Services (MITops), working with its partner the Knowledge Futures Group, provides a portfolio of services to mission-aligned partners, including peer review support and editorial development; professional copy editing and design; marketing and publicity; and hosting on the PubPub open source platform.   The MIT Press believes that the full potential of institutionally owned and managed infrastructure will be realized by pairing publishing technology innovation with economic incentives that will make it possible for the academy to reclaim the marketplace for scholarly communications.  “This model will accelerate the shift away from the academy’s growing dependence on large multinational information service providers,” said Amy Brand, director and publisher of the MIT Press.
