OAPEN Open Access Books Toolkit

The OAPEN Open Access Books Toolkit is aimed at promoting and supporting open access to academic books. It consists of short articles covering a wide range of topics relating to OA books, each including a list of sources referenced, further reading and links to definitions of key terms.

The toolkit has two main sections:

  • One for researchers as authors of academic books, and is intended to help authors to better understand open access book publishing and to increase trust in open access books.
  • The other aimed at policy makers and provides a resource to support policy development for OA books.

The Toolkit helps book authors to better understand open access book publishing and to increase trust in open access books.
