Thinking of Publishing as a System
Basic structure of IDEFØ
CONTROL
MECHANISMS
INPUTS
ACTIVITY
e.g. Publish a journal
MECHANISM
(usually people or
suppliers, but
also facilities (e.g.
hosting)
OUTPUTS
Two Processes
Peer review
Production
Planning for launching and
operating an OA journal
 Think in terms of activities – what needs to be done?
 Consider how it relates to other activities you need to perform – do
other activities provide inputs or controls? Are the outputs from the
activity in question inputs for other activities?
 What do you need to get the job done?
 How (who and/or with what system) will you get the job done?
 What controls will structure what you can/should do?
Other uses of IDEFØ in
publishing
