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... COPIM envisions and support...
... 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 Image
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 Image
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

"The established supply chain for scholarly books presents a major challenge for small or new #OA publishers to thrive. Specialised title management systems, for instance, are difficult to access and many systems are not oriented to #openaccess books." #ScalingSmall #OABooks
"@COPIMproject has dedicated time and attention to this issue developing @Thoth_metadata, a #metadata management system, that aims to level the playing field between large and small publishers by alleviating some of the difficulties faced by scholar-led presses."
#ScalingSmall
@COPIMproject @Thoth_metadata Everything about @Thoth_metadata is #OpenSource on Github - the database includes chapter-level #metadata for #OABooks
Plus #DOIs #RORids #ORCids with mappings between multiple #metadata schema including MARC

@jesherer "No one talks about publishing as #OpenAccess causing declined usage or impact for monographs; in fact it is often the opposite!" #ScalingSmall #OABooks
@jesherer We need to get better at measuring usage & impact for #OABooks - this is tricky for libraries in particular; we rely on institution-specific usage stats to demonstrate value for money; how do we measure our institutional usage of #OpenAccess content?
#ScalingSmall
@jesherer We can get #OABooks usage stats based on IP-range; but this is just part of the picture - lots of usage is off-campus! If users don't go through authentication like EZproxy (because the content is open) how do we measure what institution they are affiliated to?

@ScholTom explains WP3 #OpeningtheFuture
Pilot case to show that publishers can transition their business to new #OpenAccess models that do not rely on BPCs but on community funding.
Developing online open toolkits for starting & running open access presses #ScalingSmall #OABooks Image
@CEUPress and @LivUniPress made #OpeningtheFuture a reality! And libraries of all sizes have joined the membership scheme, enabling library funds to go further: achieving the dual objectives of increasing collections and supporting #OpenAccess.
#ScalingSmall #OABooks Image
Library members pay a small annual fee to get DRM-free, unlimited access to a publisher’s backlist; membership revenue is used to produce new frontlist monographs which are #OpenAccess to anyone in the world!

If institutions & funders are serious about #OpenScience & #OpenResearch then they have to reassess reward & recognition systems for academics so that there is a culture change away from traditional prestige publishing
#ScalingSmall #OABooks
It's about redirecting labour & funds to #open rather than propping up the status quo - part of this is for academic institutions to work with publishers to develop sustainable & equitable #openaccess options (not just those funded by TAs, APCs & BPCs)...
#ScalingSmall #OABooks
Also key for publishers to work with academic libraries to ensure #openaccess content can be found & accessed via library discovery layers + embedded in teaching.
#OA content should be as discoverable to library-users as paywalled content! #MetadataMatters
