Problem statement
 “dedicated
tool set is still lacking” (Breure,
2010)
 “lack of suitable open source tools for
authoring an interactive publication and
for reading or using it” (Thoma, 2006)
 “clear obstacles for researchers to
embrace EPs, extra effort is needed to
add research data to a publication” (v/d
Heuvel, 2010)

Research question
What is the desirable functionality of an
authoring tool for enhanced
publications?
1.
2.
3.
What are the properties of enhanced
publications?
What tools are currently available for
producing an enhanced publication?
Is there a match between properties
and available tools?

Hypothesis
 Current
tools are not suitable for authoring
an enhanced publication.

SCOPE
system which is designed to enable scientists to easily
author, publish and edit scientific compound objects (OAIORE compliant)
Forge
designed to streamline the process of adding interactive
capability to the media objects by providing an easy and
intuitive set of procedures, and where possible, through the
use of wizards.

Open Journal Systems
Utrecht University is currently working on a project for
Enhanced Publications, they are adapting OJS to make it
work for publishing EPs
DPubS
open-source software system designed to enable the
organization, presentation, and delivery of scholarly journals,
monographs, conference proceedings, and other common
and evolving means of academic discourse
