PRESS RELEASE/ANNOUNCEMENT
Online Guide to Open Access Journals Publishing Launches

5 February 2010, Stockholm & Lund:

Co-Action Publishing and Lund University Libraries Main Office 
are pleased to announce the launch of the Online Guide to Open 
Access Journals Publishing at http://www.doaj.org/bpguide

The online guide is directed to small independent teams and 
provides practical information on planning, setting up, 
launching, publishing and managing an open access scholarly 
journal. Users can take advantage of additional resources in the 
form of links to related information, samples of applied 
practices and downloadable tools that can be adapted. The guide 
seeks to be interactive, allowing users to share their own best 
practices, tips and suggestions through a comment field. Although 
the guide contains some information that is specific to the 
Nordic region, most of its content can be applied 
internationally.

Development of the Online Guide to Open Access

Journals Publishing was generously supported by the Swedish 
National Library and the technical solution was supported by 
Nordbib.

Questions about the guide can be directed to
