The final slide from @allisonlevy.bsky.social is about other publishers looking to Brown for training - this is the next chapter for them to make this model of experimental publishing that they are championing sustainable. A plea for collaboration! Pooling expertise and resources is vital.

@allisonlevy.bsky.social explains how important Brown’s support for their experimental publishing has been, and how they are measuring the impact and success of these titles.

‘Scholarly imagination’ is driving demand for these models which may have non-linear navigation and mixed media assets. Their first four publications all received major prizes for the innovation for the work. @allisonlevy.bsky.social says the infrastructure exists, but needs investment and support.

⚡️ Final lightning talk of the day: @allisonlevy.bsky.social, Director of Brown University Digital Publications on ‘Innovation and impact through the collective development of dynamic scholarship’, starts by talking about the opportunities afforded by multimodal monographs. #OIPA2026
