Launch of Open Library of Humanities » JISC e-books

"The Open Library of Humanities project has launched. The project aims to explore a PLOS-style model for the humanities and social sciences and provide a platform for Open Access publishing that is: [1] Reputable and respected through rigorous peer review [2] Sustainable [3] Digitally preserved and safely archived in perpetuity Non-profit Open in both monetary and permission terms Non-discriminatory (APCs are waiverable) [4] Technically innovative in response to the needs of scholars and librarians [5] A solution to the serials crisis ... They currently have a call for participation out so if you are interested in getting involved please contact Martin, Caroline and Tim. Here at OAPEN-UK we are really pleased by the news of this new project that is focusing on humanities and social science researchers and looking at a sustainable open access future – all experimentation and gathering of evidence is welcome and can only help us move forward."
