Monograph Hosting Service

About Open Monographs Press

Open Monograph Press (OMP) is the monograph hosting platform used by the Library’s Monograph Hosting Service.

OMP is an open source software platform for managing the editorial workflow required to see monographs through internal and external review, editing, cataloguing, production, and publication. 

Among the many features of OMP is its ability to:

  • Handle edited volumes, with different authors for each chapter.
  • Involve editors, authors, reviewers, designers, indexers, and others in book production.
  • See submission through multiple rounds of both internal and external reviews.
  • Utilize industry standard ONIX for bookseller metadata requirements (e.g., Amazon).
  • Create document libraries for submissions, recording contracts, permissions, etc.
