Abstract:
Scientific communication has been radically changed by electronic publishing (e-publishing) technology.
Today, knowledge travels the globe at enormous speed and is accessible everywhere. The success of
e-publishing is the result of many projects or individual endeavours which have developed technical
solutions for publishing tasks. The software is mostly released under an Open Source licence and the
re-use of existing tools and services is often the most effective way for institutions looking to set up an
e-publishing system. But information on e-publishing tools and services is often hard to get or tends
not to get passed on. In order to fill this gap, the CARPET platform provides information on e-publishing
technology and supports the sustainability of existing e-publishing projects and their solutions.
