OMP - Open Monograph Press

What it is and how it works

Open Monograph Press (OMP) is an open source software platform developed by the Puplic Knowledge Project that allows the management and publication of scholary books.

Like the Open Journal System (OJS) for scientific journals, OMP allows you to manage the editorial workflow for the online publication of monographs and scholary volumes, through a process that includes a peer-review mechanism, content editing, production and publication.

It is also possible to use OMP to create a publishing house website with the publication of the book catalogue, the management of distribution and the activation of online sales tools.

Which are the main features

Using the ONIX standard, OMP meets the metadata requirements of online book retailers (eg Amazon), facilitating the distribution, licensing and any other form of physical and digital publication of books.

OMP offers the editorial team tools to simplify the editing activity, allowing them to organize documents by differentiating stages of the production process and makes possible to create a catalogue that is displayed on the site through an image slider that reproduces the thumbnails of the book covers.

All publications can be downloaded by readers in PDF, ePub or any other electronic format and published with either open access or a commercial license, using a sales and subscription management system integrated into the site.
