Electronic Publishing Infrastructure (EPI), innovazione nell’editoria accademica

Abstract

Italian universities have limited publishing activities for several reasons. The nature of scholarly research and communication is changing dramatically and innovative publishing systems for data and results are needed. Technological advances in e-publishing foster the takeover of a new role for universities. CILEA provides actions and tools to support academic publishing and signed an agreement with Firenze University Press to develop a platform of services for e-publishing. This project commits the partners to collaborate for innovation in processes and technologies, but cultural change is the real challenge that academic publishing will have to tackle to survive in the near future.
