[aims to boost the] commercial academic publishing market, such as accelerating time to market, more transparent pricing, and reversing the revenue model to allow academics and scholars to realize 70% of the profit from sales of their work. Among Glasstree&#8217;s advertised services: <strong>support for open access<\/strong>, including the deposit of works in institutional repositories; Tools for bibliometric tracking, so academic authors can monitor Impact Factors, and other relevant measurements; More control over licensing options, through a partnership with Creative Commons; and access to traditional peer review.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Note that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Glasstree is currently in a <strong>limited free trial period<\/strong> until 31st December 2016. During this time, authors can publish as many titles as desired, free of charge, receiving a range of complimentary services.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Somehow I doubt that includes the related Glassleaf services where book production&#8230; &#8220;Packages start at as low as $2,625&#8221;.  Ouch.<\/p>\n<p>The Glasstree signup doesn&#8217;t port over your existing Lulu details, and thus presumably can&#8217;t port your academic book files over from Lulu either.
