Reflections on Open Monograph Publishing: A workshop at the 2nd Global Summit on Diamond OA | OBC Information Hub

Copim and the Association of African Universities hosted ‘Open Monograph Publishing: Towards Sustainable Open Access Book Publishing in the Global South Context’ as a workshop on the 9th and 10th December 2024 at the University of Cape Town. This was part of the 2nd Global Summit at Diamond OA, to which we were kindly invited by our colleagues at the University of Cape Town Libraries. The full programme, with speaker slides and links, is now available here. In this post, we will offer a more discursive reflection on our experience, and the work we hope to take forward with our colleagues and collaborators in Africa and indeed, beyond the Global North more generally.
