About

The Public Knowledge Project was established in 1998 by John Willinsky at the University of British Columbia. Ā Since that time PKP has expanded and evolved into an international and virtual operation with two institutional anchors atĀ Stanford UniversityĀ andĀ Simon Fraser University Library. Ā John Willinsky, PKP’s founder and director, is based at Stanford and oversees the general direction of PKP and leads its research activities. Ā Since 2005, the SFU Library has served as the administrative and operational home for PKP and is responsible for software development and support, PKP Publishing Services, and other administrative activities. Ā PKP also has three major development partners —Ontario Council of University LibrariesĀ (OCUL), theĀ University of British Columbia Libraries, and the University of Pittsburgh Libraries — who provide significant financial and in-kind support.
