FSU Libraries debuts Florida State Open Publishing

Florida State University Libraries has launched Florida State Open Publishing (FSOP), the university’s first open-access publishing program. 

FSOP provides FSU faculty with the digital publishing tools and support needed to produce peer-reviewed, open scholarly publications, educational resources and other digital research outputs.

Designed to serve as an alternative to commercial academic publishers, FSOP is a digitally focused, fully open-access publishing program. It offers platform hosting, technical support and other publishing services for a diverse range of publications and projects, including:

• Journals
• Open textbooks
• Monographs
• Research reports
• Experimental scholarship 
• Other forms of digital scholarly publishing

FSOP welcomes projects from all disciplines, languages and FSU-affiliated authors regardless of the scope of their work. Founded on principles of inclusivity and diversity, the program is particularly interested in promoting scholarship by or about underrepresented groups. FSOP’s publications are released under flexible copyright licenses that allow authors to retain their copyrights, enabling them to share and reuse their work in innovative ways.

Visit the Florida State Open Publishing website for more details on the program’s titles and services. FSOP is actively seeking partnerships with authors and journals. If you are interested in publishing with FSOP, please complete a Digital Project Consultation Request form.
