I will be joining a @UKSG Event running today and Thursday on #OpenAccess publishing in the UK and Europe:
"Practical Routes to OA Monographs: Collaboration, Innovation and Support"

#UKSGSeminar #OAmonographs23uksg.org/event/PR2OAmon… @UKSG We begin with Lucy Barnes (@alittleroad) from @OpenBookPublish and @oabooksnetwork on "A field in flux: change, challenge, and collective progress for OA books"
#UKSGSeminar #OAmonographs23

"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

Today's final #ScalingSmall session is "Community Governance in Practice: Governance in #OA Spaces" - Janneke Adema (@Openreflections) describes the research that informed the establishment of a community governance structure for @COPIMproject & @OpenBookCollect @Openreflections @COPIMproject @OpenBookCollect @COPIMproject research reports for exploring models for community governance as part of WP4 copim.ac.uk/workpackage/wp…

@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

@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 @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.

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

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)...
