“Notably, participants in our Community Engagement research agreed that their most pressing need was to improve their support framework for journal publishing. While individual library publishers and library publishing stakeholders discussed a range of additional content types that were of interest to them, including OERs, monographs, preprints, and datasets, participants repeatedly came back to journals as their core and still unresolved need. Specifically, they shared that they wanted to compete more effectively with commercial journal publishers and that to do so, they needed to offer more compelling journal publishing platforms and tools to faculty and editors and students” (p. 20).
