The Copim\u00a0community and Open Book Futures are pleased to announce the launch of the\u00a0<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Experimental Publishing Compendium<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/compendium.copim.ac.uk\/<\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The compendium is a guide and reference for scholars, publishers, developers, librarians, and designers who want to challenge, push, and redefine the shape, form, and rationale of scholarly books. The compendium gathers and links tools, examples of experimental books, and experimental publishing practices with a focus on free and open-source software, platforms, and digital publishing tools that presses and authors can either use freely or can adapt to their research and publishing workflows. With the compendium we want to promote and inspire authors and publishers to publish experimental monographs and to challenge and redefine the shape, form, and rationale of scholarly books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are celebrating the official launch of the  Experimental Publishing Compendium with a festive calendar. Follow us on Twitter<\/a> (#ExperimentalPublishingCompendium) <\/a>and Mastodon<\/a> to discover 24 experimental publishing tools, practices & books from the compendium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compendium includes experiments with the form and format of the scholarly book; with the various (multi)media we can publish long-form research in; and with how people produce, disseminate, consume, review, reuse, interact with, and form communities around books. Far from merely a formal exercise, experimental publishing, as we conceive it here, also reimagines the relationalities that constitute scholarly writing, research, and publishing. Books, after all, validate what counts as research and materialise how scholarly knowledge production is organised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope the linked entries in this compendium inspire speculations on the future of the book and the humanities and encourage publishers and authors to explore publications beyond the standard printed codex format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
