ABOUT CCIP

CCIP is a second-year project for Publishing undergraduate students at Kingston University. Following three months of Masterclass Sessions from industry professionals, the students are asked to write their own academic articles responding to a critical issue the contemporary publishing industry is currently facing. From these articles the students then work as a team to produce their own 'publishable standard' academic journal.

​

​

The process of bringing the project to print includes:

  • planning and scheduling a production timeline with all key milestone dates and assigned tasks/roles agreed

  • working cohesively as members of an agile professional team using an iterative approach to tasks

  • leading and contributing to weekly 'scrum' progress presentations and updating weekly agenda's to assess deadline flexibility

  • creating a style-sheet to ensure all contributor content is consistent

  • researching, writing, proofreading and copyediting an industry-facing, essay-style article discussing a key issue or challenge in publishing (including own article abstract and keywords)

  • presentation of a complete scholarly bibliography with accurate refrencing throughout (hybrid referencing style developed)

  • commissioning and copyediting of supplementary material from peers on the MA Publishing course*

  • sourcing voluntary peer reviewers and organising the peer review process

  • logo design, cover illustration and design, cover copy

  • selection of typeface, page layout designs and typesetting

  • writing original copy elements (back-cover copy, acknowledgements and journal introduction)

  • composing moral and copyright assertions for all contributors

  • developement of a website to provide a free access point to journal content**

  • fully collaborative management of a cross-channel marketing strategy

  • liaising with print-room technicians to produce the final hard-copy journal

  • communicating with MA students and stakeholders to organise a 'showcase project' launch event

  • producing promotional material to support the launch campaign

​​

 

*As a smaller cohort, this year's students took on the additional process of commissioning and copyediting content submitted by their department peers.

​

**They have also created this website as a way to acknowledge the increasingly standard use of Open Access models within educational and academic publishing sectors.
