The Smart University Foundation (SUF) and IntechOpen, Ltd. have announced their future collaboration on global academic publishing, open access book printing, online publishing, and other publishing and capacity-building opportunities for the future of global higher education.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed outlining the common goal of supporting the SUF initiative ‘Smart University Press’ (SUP) for the publication of academic open access books. The MoU will allow the two parties to join forces in offering open access publishing services and initiatives to universities globally.
Under the agreement, the Smart University Press, founded and managed by SUF, will partner with other universities to allow them to organise their academic publishing activities, thereby increasing recognition and impact. Support includes organisation of the entire publishing process, a platform for hosting open access books powered by IntechOpen. SUP will expand its current academic editorial board to ensure and examine the quality of proposed publications. Partner Universities will also be able to host the content of their publications on their own platforms.
IntechOpen will provide a comprehensive technical and distribution infrastructure, including hosting the front-end platform of SUP, and all other publishing and distribution services.
