Research Talk: open access monographs
In this episode, we dive into the transformative world of open access monographs with Anna Hughes, Dr Joe Deville and Lucy Barnes.
Our guests Dr Joe Deville, senior lecturer at Lancaster University, and Lucy Barnes, senior editor and outreach coordinator at Open Book Publishers bring a wealth of experience in open access publishing, from managing community-led initiatives to driving policy development in Europe.
They share insights on the COPIM project, which develops community-governed infrastructures for open access book publishing, and address misconceptions about open access, such as the feasibility of physical book sales and the inclusion of images. Their discussion highlights the critical role of collaboration among academics, publishers, and librarians in reshaping the future of scholarly publishing.
