Summary
- Limited options currently exist for humanities researchers looking to engage with open research practices and experimental forms in book publishing.
- The adapted publishing workflows and formats used for the experimental open access book project, Living with Machines, offer a model for reuse by publishers and authors.
- Iterative publication, open peer review and multimedia integration increased community engagement with the book and maximised the research data and other outputs generated by the research project.
- Closer coordination between editorial and production functions, new forms of collaboration between publishers, authors and reviewers, and clear process documentation were key learnings in the effective running of this experiment.
