Managing a New University Press (NUP) is often a one-person
operation and, with limits on time and resources, efficiency and
effectiveness are key to having a successful production process and
providing a high level of author, editor and reader services. This
article looks at the challenges faced by open access (OA) university
presses throughout the publishing journey and considers ways in which
these challenges can be addressed. In particular, the article focuses on
six key stages throughout the lifecycle of an open access publication:
commissioning; review; production; discoverability; marketing;
analytics. Approached from the point of view of the University of
Huddersfield Press, this article also draws on discussions and
experiences of other NUPs from community-led forums and events. By
highlighting the issues faced, and the potential solutions to them, this
research recognises the need for a tailored and formalised production
workflow within NUPs and also provides guidance how to begin
implementing possible solutions.
