A Landscape Study on Open Access and Monographs: Policies, Funding and Publishing in Eight European Countries | Zenodo

"Knowledge Exchange is continuously active in promoting Open Access by bringing together Open Access experts from all six KE partner countries. The study was initiated by Knowledge Exchange and financed by Knowledge Exchange (http://www.knowledge-exchange.info), FWF (https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/), CRIStin (http://www.cristin.no/english/) and Couperin (http://www.cristin.no/english/), and together with the skilled expertise of Eelco Ferwerda, Frances Pinter and Niels Stern, we can now publish the biggest landscape study on the conditions and potentials for Open Access books yet.  The report builds on i.a. 73 in-depth conversations, conducted across eight different countries (Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Norway and Austria) to understand current developments among three stakeholder groups: publishers, funders and libraries. The importance of author attitudes, scholarly reward and incentive systems is also raised throughout the study by numerous interviewees."
