1 Background
Language Science Press1 ”publishes high quality, peer-reviewed open-access books
in the field of linguistics”. To simplify and distribute the production process
among different editors the press uses Open Monograph Press2 (OMP).
OMP is an open source tool for managing and publishing monographs, edited
volumes, and scholarly editions over the Web. It is a highly flexible editor-
operated book management and publishing system. It has been designed
to reduce the time and energy devoted to the clerical and managerial tasks
associated with publishing books, while improving the record-keeping and
efficiency of editorial processes. It seeks to improve the scholarly and public
quality of publishing through a number of innovations, and includes clear
and intuitive workflows for every aspect of the manuscript submission, re-
view, editing and production processes.3
Figure 1.1: Workflow of Language Science Press
Language Science Press uses OMP to support the following workflow (see also
fig. 1.1): The process starts with the submission of a manuscript by an author.
The manuscript is accepted by the editor and distributed to reviewers. After the
content based review process, the form based editorial process takes place with
proofreading and typesetting. The last step is the publication of the book.
The following two chapters aim to help authors (chapter 2) and editors (chapter
3) to use the online tool OMP with Language Science Press. This user guide is
based on the OMP userguide by PKP4. It has been condensed, adapted to the
