PressForward Project

Fairfax, Virginia United States

Education

PressForward is an experiment in new methods for capturing and highlighting presently orphaned or underappreciated scholarship—including “gray literature” such as conference papers, white papers, reports, scholarly blogs, and digital projects—in ways that are useful to scholarly communities. Based at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, we are researching and evaluating existing methods as well as developing new types of publications. In addition, we are developing open-source plugins for the WordPress platform to enable scholarly communities and organizations to create their own trusted, high-value streams of relevant content.
