Open Access Books and Journals Built on Blogging Software
Andrew Doan, Melding Traditional Publishing Models with Innovation, MedRounds Blog, October 3, 2005. Excerpt:
What do you get when combining elements of traditional publishing and Internet innovation? [1] Professional Copy Editing, [2] Academic Editors, [3] Expert Authors, [4] Google’s Blogger Technology. The products produced are peer-reviewed academic journals and medical textbooks that are published with Blogger technology. The educational material is open-access and free to the 6.5 billion readers in the world. We refer to it as "academic publishing with Blogger". This is exactly what MedRounds has done, and MedRounds will continue to produce high-quality educational materials utilizing Internet technologies to meld text with sound and video. MedRounds then announces the release of an OA textbook, Cataract Surgery for Greenhorns, and an OA journal, The Journal of Ocular Pathology --both peer-reviewed and both based on Blogger software. The journal charges no author-side fees.
(PS: If you're surprised to see blogging software turned to these purposes, have a look. You'll be more surprised to see that the fit is elegant and natural.)

Israel Scholar note: Israel based example of journals created with a help of Blooger software is a community magazine on Rehovot, www.MyRehovot.info , published in Hebrew, English and Russian . Israel Scholar Communication Scrolls also use Blogger platform combined with an advanced customization of the publishing template. While we probably would suggest using Blogger for students' projects on journal publishing, at present (giving significant number of technical problems with Google's Blogger, and posts loss ) we would not recommend to start with blogger serious academic journal. If necessary, please contact us for further details.
