Guild Publishing Model (GPM)

The Guild Publishing Model is one of several new alternative publishing models for scholarship. It is "based on the practice of academic departments and research institutes publishing their own locally controlled series of working papers, technical reports, research memoranda, and occasional papers" and includes such benefits as

  • rapid access to new research
  • quality indicators through restricted guild membership
  • localized, easy setup
  • compatibility with other forms of online and journal publishing
  • relatively low cost.
