HighWire Press, a division of Stanford University Libraries, has been named winner of the 2003 Award for Service to Not-for-Profit Publishing by the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP). HighWire produces online versions of peer-reviewed journals and other scholarly work, including nearly half of the 200 most frequently cited science journals. It hosts the largest repository of free full-text life science articles in the world. "Stanford created HighWire Press precisely for the purpose of improving scholarly publishing through more effective use of the online environment," said Michael A. Keller, university librarian and HighWire publisher. "ALPSP's award, as a form of recognition of academia's common purpose with responsible scholarly publishers, is very welcome, particularly in this time of confusion about the mission and economics of journal publication." ALPSP was founded in 1972 to serve the community of nonprofit publishers and those who work with them to disseminate academic and professional information.
