"Publishing is experiencing one of the most transformative phases in its history. In Tactical Publishing, a sequel to Post-Digital Print, Alessandro Ludovico explores the forces driving this historical phase, highlighting the tremendous opportunities it presents. Our task, he believes, is to develop
...
an alternative publishing system that transcends the dichotomy between paper and digital media. He focuses first on the two activities on which publishing is premised—reading and writing (with an emphasis onwriting machines and post-truth in the latter)—and then deconstructs the concept, proposing alternative strategies inspired by recent practices and unconventional uses of technology. Ludovico shows how the radical and strategic use of print in the past can serve as the basis for our transition to the next phase of publishing. He argues that the new ecology of publishing should be based on three main elements: the stimulation of our senses, the role of software in forming the publishing infrastructure, and the importance of archives. During this transition from the current post-digital phase to the next phase, independent publishers and artists, as well as readers and machines, will enable new structures and actions that realize the potential of publishing and the preservation of content, thereby enriching social practices. The author also considers the crucial social role played by new forms of libraries, as artists and publishers shape the coming publishing world in its various manifestations." (Publisher description)

Mit diesem Band wollen wir Kolleginnen und Kollegen an Bibliotheken und Universitäten grundlegende Kenntnisse aus dem facettenreichen und dynamischen Bereich des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens vermitteln und ihnen bei der Umsetzung ähnlicher Projekte Hilfestellung geben. Die Publikationsservices an der Universität Graz entstanden aus der Notwendigkeit heraus, die an der Universitätsbibliothek vorhandenen OpenAccess-Angebote besser zu koordinieren. Doch bereits in einer frühen Phase entstand bei den Teammitgliedern der Wunsch, mehr als »nur« Open-Access-Unterstützung zu leisten. Stattdessen sollte in Absprache und Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Abteilungen der Universität ein umfassenderes Service- und Beratungsangebot aufgebaut werden, das den gesamten Publikationsprozess begleitet."

The chapters draw on empirical evidence from a wide and diverse range of applications of openness, uncovering the many critical and underlying elements that shape and structure how particular openness initiatives and/or activities play out - and critically - who gets to participate, and who benefits [or not] from openness, while exploring the frontiers where openness intersects with deeper challenges of development, technology, and innovation."

Since 1998 the Journals Online project has established a network of local journal platforms to help Southern journals gain an online presence and increase their global visibilit

y. The framework described in this document is a response to the second part of the challenge: that of increasing respect for Southern journals. Concerns are often raised about the perceived quality and transparency of publication processes for Southern journals. This, in turn, limits the perceived credibility of the research published within those journals. The Journal Publishing Practices and Standards (JPPS) framework provides detailed assessment criteria for the quality of publishing practices of Southern journals and is initially being used to assess the journals hosted on JOL platforms. Journals assessed against the JPPS criteria are given one of six levels: inactive title; new title; no stars; one star; two stars; and three stars. The assigned JPPS levels serve a dual purpose. For readers, they provide assurance that the journals meet an internationally recognized set of criteria at a particular level. For journal editors, the detailed feedback from the JPPS assessment helps them identify ways to improve their publishing practices and standards with a view to achieving a higher level at the next assessment. The JPPS framework has been established and is managed by African Journals Online (AJOL) and INASP." (Summary)
