just for completeness i'd like to throw in epubtk (pretty much my own creature): https://dev.livingreviews.org/projects/epubtk/ it really isn't comparable to dpubs or ojs, though. we use it at www.livingreviews.org to publish invited review articles, so everything is somewhat different: the publishing workflow starts well before submission (actually with the editorial board coming up with a topic to be covered), publication rates are low, but single publications are big (> 100 pages, up to 400 references, ...). currently we can only handle latex as input format. it's also different in that it is a pretty loose set of components which are not well integrated. while this provides for flexibility, it also means installation isn't just a double-click. basically it would just be worth considering, if a publishing project has similar needs - which also deviate a lot from what ojs can support - and is in a position to contribute also to development here. but if this were the case, we'd love to collaborate. robert forkel https://dev.livingreviews.org/projects/epubtk/wiki/people/robert On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 11:48 PM, Sunny Yoon <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful replies to my query.
