    Florida State University librarians describe a program devised by FSU to encourage faculty to use open access publishing. I like how they focused just as much on educating their library staff and giving them the time and space needed to then go and open recruit faculty, and the resources to keep up the interest.

  • I have proposed that the university library could function as a re-invented university press. However, this guide is intended, over the course of as many parts as I need to be able to write this in manageable chunks, to signpost a third way. This guide is for academics who want to establish their own journals that are:Peer reviewed, in a traditional pre-review modelOpen Access and free in monetary terms for authors and readersPreserved, safe and archived in the event of catastrophe or foldReputable: run by consensus of leaders in a field
  • The board is absolutely crucial. Academic journals work on a system of academic capital; you need respected individuals who are willing to sit on your board, even if they are only lending their name and you end up doing most of the legwork. It should only be a matter of time before academics realise that journal brand isn’t (or shouldn’t be) affiliated to publishers, but rather to the academics who choose to endow a journal with their support.
  • When the first articles start flooding in, you’ll need all the help you can get. These have to be people you can trust to understand the challenges you’re facing. They need to set the bar high for the first issue while also appreciating the difficulties of attracting the big names to start-up journals. Contact people early so that you’re ready to go.

    A look at the logistics how an open access journal may be set up-- as you can see, it's both cheap and easy, which which may give pause to some people who would otherwise submit articles.  For that reason, the first thing that Eve stresses is to place high priority on the quality of your board and reviewers, to give your new title some legitimacy.
