Miércoles, 10 de Septiembre, 10AM UTC-3
Experimental Publishing in Practice: Collaborative and Digital Tools
Wednesday September 10, 2pm BST
This next online seminar in the Experimental Book Publishing in Practice seminar series is organised by the Experimental Publishing Group and the Post-Publishing research strand together with the HD LAB at IIBICRIT-CONICET, Paideia Editorial, and Thoth Open Metadata. Each seminar brings together authors and publishers with software and tool providers to showcase a selection of open source tools, platforms, and software that support the publication of experimental, interactive, multimodal, and/or versioned books as well as experimental publishing practices from annotating and open reviewing to forking and rewriting. These seminars respond to the previously stated need of both authors and publishers to learn more about experimental book publishing and the tools, practices, and workflows that support this (Adema and Stone, 2017; Adema et al. 2022).
