To those of you who are using WordPress, please take a look at — and edit — this Google spreadsheet for WordPress in Higher Education.

I’d be interested in seeing any examples of academic journals that have moved to wordpress.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for sharing your examples, very cool!

The University of Hawai’i System has been using WordPress for our magazine since Sept 08 and just recently launched our weekly News@UH faculty/staff newsletter on a WordPress MU install

http://hawaii.edu/malamalama — Monochrome theme

http://hawaii.edu/newsatuh — Elements of SEO theme

Both themes had only minor customization in consultation with a graphic designer.

For the magazine, we have a mix of print/online and online-only issues (just revised to two of each per year) tho we are now producing more multimedia “web extras”

We’re using wordpress for several of our magazines … works great! I can get an issue of our largest magazine online in about 2 days. Smaller mags only take about half a day. The key is being able to customize your templates for the magazine model.

Forgot to mention that we’re using a heavily customized version of Nelo.

We’re also using WordPress for the online version of our magazine, also called the Bulletin. We implemented it over the summer.

My "repeated attempts to flog this senseless either/or debate," Matt? Really? Looks like you didn't read this post.

We use WordPress for our complete suite of news sites, which are similiarly branded but unique portals to targeted types of content. Our sites are located at http://research.ua.edu, http://uanews.ua.edu, and http://dialog.ua.edu. The design and implementation was all custom and in-house, using a number of plug-ins to achieve a highly-customized and high-functiontioning suite of sites that work well together and allow non-technical users to update content.
