EKT ePublishing: An Innovative Service to Support Open Access Scholarly Publishing in Greece

Abstract

The poster presents EKT’s ePublishing platform, an innovative service to support open access publishing in Greece, which enables the research community of the country to transition from a print-only mode of work to online working environments and enhance the visibility and impact of their research outputs. Emerging within an ecosystem with no prior experience or open access oriented culture, it enables the cultural shift towards open and collaborative scientific practices and the open science/open access paradigm. Focusing on the Open Book Press, EKT through its participation at the HIRMEOS project is expected to enhance the technical capacities and services of the platform that enable identification, authentication and interoperability as well as tools that enrich information and entity extraction.
