A Survey and Evaluation of Open-Source Electronic Publishing Systems Mark Cyzyk Scholarly Communication Architect The Johns Hopkins University In late 2006 the Library Digital Programs Group of The Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University was commissioned by the Open Society Institute (OSI) to perform a survey and evaluation of open-source electronic publishing systems.  This evaluation fits nicely with Hopkins' interests in repository analysis and evaluation, long-term/large-scale data curation, and linkages between primary publications and related datasets, as well as with the interests of the Johns Hopkins University Press. In this presentation, a report on the methodology and results of this study will be provided, including an evaluation of DPubS, GNU Eprints, Hyperjournal, and Open Journal Systems, as well as commentary on Connexions/Rhaptos, DiVA, and Topaz. The study itself will be published as a white paper by the Open Society Institute.   Handout (MS Word)   Fall 2007 Meeting Home Page     Fall 2007 Project Briefings     Fall 2007 Schedule
