Scientific Advisory Board
An advisory board has been established to accompany the project constructively and productively throughout its entire durationduration and to prioritise and steer the software development in the interests of the publishing community. The advisory board is contacted on project questions and concerns. It also fulfills an advisory function in the strategic planning and design of the project.
The advisory board is made up of small and medium-sized publishers, university presses, academic libraries, externally funded projects, and other committed players in the field of digital publishing and open science.
Interested? You can support us within or outside of the advisory boards. Just get in touch.

Next Community Call: OS-APS Launch Event (in German)
The time has finally come! After a productive second project phase, OS-APS is ready to present its improved and expanded software for digital publishing. As part of a digital launch event on September 26 at 11 a.m., we want to give all users and interested parties a clear overview of the work and results of our project. We will discuss the most important innovations and key features of OS-APS and will be happy to answer your questions. Perhaps we will also discover further potential for development in conversation with you!
