OMP Environment

Open Monograph Press provides a technology foundation for scholarly books and monographs. Its workflow differs from journal publishing because books may involve proposals, editorial development, multiple contributors, review stages, production and publication.

GEST helps organisations structure OMP environments around their publishing model. The technology should reflect how proposals are received, how editorial decisions are made and how manuscripts move through development and production.

Clear roles and workflow stages help publishing teams understand responsibility at each point in the lifecycle. This can make the platform easier to operate while providing a consistent environment for authors, editors and publishing administrators.

OMP can also form part of a broader digital publishing infrastructure. GEST focuses on connecting platform configuration with metadata, publication processes and ongoing technical maintenance.
