Manifold is an open-source publishing platform built by scholars and publishers. It's responsive, accessible, intuitive, and customizable. With Manifold, you can publish materials you already produce or use it to build something new together with your colleagues and students. Manifold is used widely by university presses to publish digital monographs and collected editions, by faculty to publish work-in-progress and open course materials, by students to publish course-related writing and creative projects, and by scholarly collectives to publish journals and archival materials. Manifold works with the files you’ve already got, converting your existing content into beautiful, responsive online texts that can be annotated and augmented with rich media. Manifold is responsive and displays well on all devices including mobile phones and tablets. Manifold has built in annotation features - You can annotate, highlight, and reply to others’ annotations directly in the Manifold Reader.
The CUNY Manifold instance serves as a free digital publishing platform for the entire CUNY community, where you can create and share your own scholarship, custom classroom versions of texts and textbooks that are openly licensed or in the public domain, Open Educational Resources (OER), journals, or use Manifold Reading Groups to build your own course reader from materials already available on our instance of Manifold.
