Open Humanities Press: new journals aim to solve publishing crisis
Like the UC Libraries eScholarship program, which facilitates the creation of peer reviewed open access journals, (See the UC Peer Reviewed Series in eScholarship) the Open Humanities Press seeks to provide a solution to the current crisis in academic publishing.
The Open Humanities Press has organized an impressive editorial board and is publishing an important set of scholarly journals. These include:

Thanks for this shoutout, David. Just a quick word of clarification for your readers: Open Humanities Press is an international scholar-led initiative and is not affiliated with the University of Michigan, although we have recently partnered with the University of Michigan Library’s Scholarly Publishing Office to publish open access monographs.
Thanks for the clarification Sigi. I’ll make sure to direct people to the project during our upcoming Open Access Week, Oct 19-23, 2009.
