The Huddersfield Open Access Publishing (HOAP) project is part of the JISC Digital infrastructure programme. The project aimed to develop a platform using EPrints software as a low cost, sustainable method to convert the University journal, Teaching in Lifelong Learning, from its existing model of a print subscription to an open access e-journal. The platform will now be used to convert other existing University journals in the future as well as a 'best of Huddersfield research' title that will draw its content from the Repository. One of the outcomes of the project was to develop this toolkit for other institutions to use.
