[Irtalk] Will University Presses be the new winners in Open Access publishing? : Publishing Technology

[Hilton Gibson]

*From this point of view, for a university to have its own press*, and
funding the Article processing charges (APCs) for highly-cited
publications, *can almost be seen as a kind of marketing exercise rather
than corporate survival.* *The logical step – given that the investment is
relatively small and much IT support is available in-house – is for leading
universities to cut out the go-between, and become their own OA publishers.*
There are new opportunities here, and fledgling alliances to be created. I
think we can expect to see many new initiatives along the lines of the
exclusive-open UCL Press.
