Peter to attend Frankfurt Bookfair

I'll be attending the Frankfurt Bookfair again this year, to meet with our current and potential publishing and distribution partners. I'll be at the fair from October 5th to 10th. We will have a small exhibit at the Eurospan group stand, in Hall 8.0, with the American and European presses. In the past this has proven a congenial place to exhibit, together with other publishers handled by Eurospan, including Stanford University Press, M.E. Sharpe, University of North Carolina and others.
 

Launched: the Singapore E-Press

The Singapore E-Press is a platform for online journal publishing. There are two elements to the E-press - an online peer review management system, to allow journal editors to manage the journal submission and editing process, and an online publishing system tuned to offer open access online journals. We are using the system developed by John Willinsky's team at the University of British Columbia's Public Knowledge Project.
