The infrastructure for the Illinois Open Publishing Network has been developed as one part of the Publishing Without Walls initiative funded through the Mellon Foundation. For the period of the grant, IOPN’s development is guided in consultation with the grant team’s Research and Outreach working groups and the PWW Advisory Board.
As the grant period winds down in 2020, IOPN will establish a standing advisory board to take over the work of providing guidance to publishing operations and providing feedback on publication proposals.
