Knowledge Unlatched Research

[Knowledge Unlatched Research is a division of Knowledge Unlatched.]

"We are working to help libraries, publishers, intermediaries and policymakers to capture, interpret and share and act on rich data about how Open Access [OA] books are being used. We are also contributing to state-of-the-field knowledge about OA policy and practice for books.

Our projects include:

• Developing effective tools and strategies for capturing data relating to the uses of OA books;
• Mapping the digital visibility of OA books in a global context;
• Creating integrated dashboards to help OA publishers to gather and manage usage data from multiple sources;
• Exploring challenges of data governance – and likely solutions – for communities involved in making, sharing and using OA books;
• Contributing to international projects focussed on mapping the OA policy landscape for books;
• Collaborating with platforms and publishers to ensure that the best use is being made of available data about OA books...."
