Navigating the Future of OA Scholarly Monograph Publishing in HSS

This project led by Caren Milloy aims to inform stakeholders about the importance of OA monographs in Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). It addresses the gaps in consultation, policy formulation, and evidence-based decision-making in the transition to OA publishing. The initiative, funded by AHRC and Jisc, focuses on research communication, author funding, business models, licensing options, and the potential impact on young researchers and REF2020. Access the full project details and resources via OAPEN-UK's website and engage with the discussion on Twitter and Diigo Group. For queries, reach out to Caren Milloy directly. Make informed decisions for a sustainable scholarly publishing future in HSS.
