And here is the abstract:

"This paper reviews and addresses the critical issues currently 
confronting monograph publishing as a matter of reduced 
opportunities for scholars to pursue book-length projects. In 
response, it proposes an alternative approach to monograph 
publishing based on a modular design for an online system that 
would foster, manage, and publish monographs in digital and print 
forms using open source software developments, drawn from journal 
publishing, and social networking technologies that might 
contribute to not only to the sustainability of monograph 
publishing but to the quality of the resulting books."
