TomMosterd's bookmarks 2020-12-18
Summary:
cOAlition S will issue its policy on Open Access (OA) monographs and chapters in late 2021. As part of a strategy to gather opinions and OA book policy priorities from the OA books community to feed into this policy, SPARC Europe helped prepare a workshop with members of OPERAS, EASSH and DARIAH at the OPERAS Conference on 2 November 2020. With almost 75 attendees, this workshop focused on business models for OA books and brought together experts from the field before ending with a document sprint. The sprint allowed the community to engage online by reacting to cases made by the presenters and providing other additions.
