#ScalingSmall #OABooks
@Openreflections @COPIMproject @OpenBookCollect #ScalingSmall
COPIM envisions &supports an open inclusive diverse &community-led ecosystem for the creation &dissemination of #OABooks in which all knowledge producers are maximally empowered to communicate their research to the benefit of society without costs or barriers...
... We imagine a world in which open access books in all their forms are produced and disseminated anti-competitively, collaboratively, and responsive to, as well as driven by, the community of communities dedicated to public knowledge and the love of the book.
#ScalingSmall
@JudithFathallah discusses the values & practices of small #OA publishers (eg @ScholarLed consortium) when developing governance models as 'Knowledge Commons'
Different stakeholders hopefully share common aims & interests, but power is not equally shared.
#ScalingSmall #OABooks
How do #OA publishers see the elements, resources, & actors involved in their governance structures? - From financial resources to human resources & labour, from technological systems & digital infrastructure to rules & bylaws of their form of incorporation
#ScalingSmall #OABooks
Independence and flexibility is highly valued by many smaller scholar-led presses (ie. separation from a particular university of institution) - as was informal & dynamic methods of governance.
#ScalingSmall #OABooks
@JudithFathallah's research developed some contextual recommendations for small scholar-led #OA presses related to implementing governance structures to pre-empt potential problems. The recommendations advocate for diversity & representation as well as transparency
