Open Scholarship: Navigating open access monographs: OAPEN and the OA books toolkit for researchers
Open access publication of monographs and other long-form works is an emerging movement, but the novelty of this can prove a challenge for those looking to publish their monograph open access. OAPEN, the online library of open access books, promotes and supports the transition to open access for academic books and this workshop will detail the resources that are available to Oxford researchers. In particular, we will focus on the OAPEN OA Open Books Toolkit, which provides resources to help authors better understand open access book publishing and to increase trust in open access books. This webinar will also include a brief horizon scan of open monograph policies that may impact Oxford researchers.
