Concept[edit]


Open access is when academic research is made freely available for anyone to read and re-use.[2] As with open access journals, there are different business models for funding open-access books, including publication charges, institutional support, library publishing, and consortium models.[3] OECD Publishing uses a freemium model by making its books available online in HTML with the option to purchase a print copy.[3] There is some evidence that making electronic editions of books open access can increase sales of the print edition.[4]



History[edit]


While open access to journal articles has become very common, with 50% of articles published in 2011 available as open access,[5] open access to books has not yet seen as much uptake.[6] However, there are dedicated open-access book publishers such as Open Book Publishers and others who publish both books and journals, such as Open Humanities Press.[7] A report released in 2015 by the UK's main funding body for research, the Higher Education Funding Council for England, states the importance of open access monographs:[8] "Monographs are a vitally important and distinctive vehicle for research communication, and must be sustained in any moves to open access."[9]


The Open Access Publishing in European Networks (OAPEN) project provides access to hundreds of peer-reviewed academic books, mainly in the humanities and social sciences.[10]
