How to Begin the OA Transition: a guide for smaller and specialist publishers

How to Begin the OA Transition: a guide for smaller and specialist publishers provides detailed advice and guidance for both independent book publishers and those who work with larger publishing partners.

UKRI, in partnership with the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), the British Academy, and Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA), commissioned Information Power to develop independent advice and a toolkit that can support learned society, subject association, and smaller specialist publishers to explore a range of potential strategies and business models through which they can transition successfully to OA. These publishers play an important role in the research and scholarly communications ecosystem.
