Several CSU institutions have expressed interest creating journals through establishing a centrally supported journal publishing platform. Additionally, some institutions are already publishing through locally maintained or hosted platforms. This interest group aims to identify the best tool(s) to offer, best-practices for publishing workflows, and a roadmap for both getting a new journal off the ground and migrate existing journals to a new platform when necessary.
