Jisc Collections

This project aims to explore potential future services to support open-access (OA) monograph publishing, conducted by Jisc Collections and OAPEN Foundation, with representation from UK universities, independent publishers, and others.

It explores potential centralized services that can support and encourage the publication of OA peer-reviewed monographs. Potential services should serve OA book publishers, in particular University and Library presses, but could also benefit libraries, research and repository management, and funders.

The project is conducted on co-design principles, with universities that have an interest in OA monographs – as university-based publishers, consumers, or supporters, and is led by Caren Milloy, Acting Head of Projects at Jisc Collections.
