<b>New Service Solution for Small-scale Open Access Scholarly
Publishers<br><br>
2 April 2009; Stockholm, Dublin, London: </b>Co-Action Publishing,
Datapage and T Marketing are pleased to announce the launch today of
OpenAccessSolutions.com, a website dedicated to offering small-scale Open
Access scholarly publishers a full range of affordable services from
multiple vendors along the publishing chain through a single virtual
location. <br><br>
OpenAccessSolutions.com addresses the needs of a growing segment within
Open Access scholarly publishing. The Open Access journals market is
growing quickly, and currently represents approximately 9% of the
refereed journals listed in Ulrich's Periodical Directory. A number of
these journals are operated by single editorial teams, societies or
university presses. OpenAccessSolutions.com allows these publishers to
combine independence with behind-the-scenes professional support on
virtually any aspect of journal development and the publishing
process.<br><br>
"We recognize that many scholars and societies wish to remain
independent of a publishing house as they transition a current
subscription journal to Open Access or launch a new journal," stated
Caroline Sutton from Co-Action Publishing, adding "By teaming up
with Datapage and T Marketing, we are able to offer these publishers
access to the same professional skill and know-how that large publishers
take advantage of everyday in a format that is scalable to their
needs."<br><br>
Nisha Rahul, Operations Manager for Datapage, further commented
“Datapage has been providing typesetting and pre-press services to
publishers worldwide since 1987. Our ultimate aim is to make ourselves
"easier to do business with". Through OpenAccessSolutions.com
we make publishing easier for small publishers by providing seamless
solutions from several vendors, allowing each publisher to create an
optimal service package.<br><br>
T Marketing Founder Natasha White shared her thoughts on the launch,
stating, "After having worked at some of the world's largest
publishers, I am now working daily with smaller businesses. Like Datapage
and Co-Action Publishing, T Marketing welcomes the opportunity to work
together with small-scale scholarly publishers to augment the skills and
competencies of their in-house teams."<br><br>
