Opening the Monograph: Lessons from Luminos | Journal of Scholarly Publishing

Abstract: "In response to increasing challenges to both the financial model and the distribution model for traditional monographs, the University of California Press developed and launched a new open access monograph program, Luminos, in 2015. Now that Luminos is halfway through its second year, this article reviews the program's progress in addressing its three core goals: developing a more sustainable financial model, improving access and impact, and providing a digital space with multimedia capabilities for monographs."
