Brief History of CDL Publishing ► Economics and technology intersected in the mid-1990 s to provide the perfect crisis/opportunity ► CDL opened 1999; e. Scholarship Program launched 2000 ► e. Scholarship Repository launched 2003; today 200 UC depts. contributing more than 16, 000 papers, books, articles, etc; 5. 2 million full-text downloads ► e. Scholarship Editions: 2, 000 XML Scholarly monographs from University of California Press ► CDL-UC Press partnership extends to monographic series, digital critical editions, interactive Web based publications
e. Scholarship Services ► Provide low-cost alternative publishing services for the UC community ► Support widespread distribution of the materials that result from research & teaching ► Foster new models of scholarly publishing through the development and application of advanced technologies
Dark and Stormy Night ► Economics of scholarly publishing have become increasingly troublesome for both nonprofit producers and consumers; libraries continue to buy shrinking percentage of output ► New technologies offer possibilities for innovative and more cost-effective publishing ► Pressures and opportunities create new challenges for UC services in support of research & teaching ► Experiments with new forms of publication have extended as far as existing organizational structures (UC Press and CDL) and budgets will allow
Guiding Principles ► To remain competitive the university must provide a research infrastructure for its faculty that will ensure productivity and stimulate innovation in all aspects of the research, teaching and learning cycle ► Publishing must be conceived more broadly than the production of an archival record; it is an integral part of the research enterprise ► Publishing must embrace a suite of production and dissemination activities, some of which will be revenue generating ► Publishing must enable faculty to create and distribute works via the most appropriate means
Early research confirming what we already knew ► An enormous amount of publishing activity, both system-wide and campus-based ► Much of it is informal, e. g. working papers, much of it is digital, and much of it hard to find ► Surprising amount of formal publishing activity on campuses, in ORUs and UCOP departments ► Faculty make a distinction between in-process scholarly communication and formal, archival publication (ref to Harley, King) ► There is still considerable resistance to the use of alternative formats for “archival publication” because of tenure concerns ► Growing percentage of UC faculty are desperate for university support for creating, validating, publishing, recognizing their new scholarly communication activities
UC Strategy ► Align UC publishing services with the academic enterprise of the University of California ► Broaden the role of the university press beyond gatekeeper for a select few; reclaim and extend the original role of the university press ► Coordinate planning across the UC system, find intersections in IT planning, digital stewardship, research data support, publishing and preservation ► Develop publishing services to be interoperable with services for research and supplementary data
UC Publishing Services ► Traditional Scholarly Publishing Services § Scholarly monographs § Peer-reviewed journals ► Dissemination & Repository Services § Working papers, technical reports, etc. § Electronic Theses & Dissertations § Postprint Repository ► New Publishing Models § Distributed Editorial Boards § Digital Critical Editions § Interactive map-based publications in soc sciences & humanities § Science reference/collaboration with museums
