Abstract

In an attempt to stress a specific aspect of the "open-access" paradigm, experiences in setting up a collaborative publication platform in the social sciences are reported. The guiding prin­ci­ples in this context, the functional and technical requirements of the content producing partner, the open-access journal Forum Qualitative Sozial­for­schung / Forum: Qualitative Social Research, are therefore presented first. Thereafter, a more gen­er­al perspective of the project German Academic Publishers as an initiative mediating and feder­at­ing expertise in the field is introduced before pro­ceed­ing to the core section, dealing with aspects of technical standardization and transparency as a vital basis for open-access strategies and which is provided by the Social Science Information Centre.
