[GOAL] New resources - 'Starting an open access journal' plus annotated bibliography of case studies

[Danny Kingsley]

<Apologies for cross posting>

A new resource for those toying with the idea of starting an open access journal – or indeed considering transferring their business model from toll access to open access - from the Australia Open Access Support Group.

The 'Starting an open access journal' page - http://aoasg.org.au/starting-an-oa-journal/ includes links to online tools to assist would-be open access publishers. There are links to blogs that discuss recent experiences setting up journals, information for scholarly societies considering making their journals open access, some resources and links for libraries that publish plus some tips for indexing journals.

There is an annotated bibliography of case studies from both a library and editorial perspective is on a separate page: "OA publisher case studies" http://aoasg.org.au/oa-publishing-case-studies/. This lists several case studies from both librarians and researchers about the experience of setting up and managing open access journals. Each reference includes some detail about what is included in the paper.

As always the AOASG is open to suggestions and comments about the page. Please send through to eo at aoasg.org.au
