OAPEN promotes and supports the transition to open access for academic books by providing open infrastructure services to stakeholders in scholarly communication. We work with publishers to build a quality-controlled collection of open access books and provide services for publishers, libraries, and research funders in the areas of hosting, deposit, quality assurance, dissemination, and digital preservation.
The OAPEN Foundation is delighted to announce that it has entered into a partnership collaboration with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to provide a set of dedicated services for its funded open access (OA) books.
