Single-Source Publishing Community

A group for everybody involved with or interested in modern publishing approaches, such as editors, developers, authors, and everybody else.

What we do

Single-Source Publishing – the process of producing various publishing formats from a single document – is a key component to satisfy scientific publishing demands such as diamond open-access. However, often its implementation is hindered by the details, including technical and organizational challenges. This group brings together stakeholders, like developers and editorial users, to share their approaches, experiences and insights, and to generally improve cooperation and efficiency.

Specifically, the Single-Source Publishing Community helps to overcome communicative barriers between stakeholders. The community enables a long-term process that allows institutions to establish best practices, documents proven and tested workflows, all while supporting each other with continuous improvement and in the integration of new techniques. It serves as a knowledge base for everyone and as a starting point for newcomers, seeking to implement single-source publishing.

Join us!

Please join us at our next online meetup on the third Wednesday of each month. No registration is necessary. The community is open to newcomers and experts interested in independent, interoperable and standard-driven approaches to (scholarly) publishing.

Questions and messages to the community are most welcome. They are best sent via the Single-Source Publishing category in the EDCH forum. The forum also serves as a good resource for related topics.
