Learned Publishing
In collaboration with the Society for Scholarly Publishing, ALPSP publishes a peer reviewed quarterly[8] journal called Learned Publishing, covering the field of scholarly publishing.[9] The Journal is considered to be of a high level and to offer stimulating insights on the evolution of digital publishing.[10] As part of a finely balanced[11][12] approach to open access, it launched in 2007 an open access option, whereby authors can choose to make the online version of their article freely available.[13]
The current Editors are Alan Singleton and Diane Scott-Lichter.[14]
ALJC Collection
In 2010 ALPSP entered a partnership with SWETS, a subscription service company, for the electronic distribution of 824 learned journals.[15]
Ebooks
In 2009 ALPSP launched a cooperative service enabling its members to offer multipublisher collections to libraries.[16][17]
