Thoth Open Metadata

We are truly honoured to have received a finalist nomination for the 2025 @alpsp Award for Innovation in Publishing 2025!

#MetadataMatters

Hannah and Toby just gave their presentation to the ALPSP panel of judges, and we'll know more in about two months' time, as award winners will be announced at this year's ALPSP Conference in Manchester (Sept 10-11).

Really wonderful to see more and more interest across the sector in what we've been developing within the @copim community - and also good to keep in mind the importance of that growing network of #openinfrastructures that have come together to explore alternative ways to OA publishing of #OAbooks based on interoperable #opendata ...

So this is also a shoutout to the important work happening at @openbookcollect, @PublicKnowledgeProject (with OMP), @crossref, @ORCID_Org, and many others not on Mastodon, incl. OAPEN, DOAB, OaEBU DT, and the OA Switchboard ...

Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly CommunicationOpen access, open infrastructures, and their funding: Learning from histories to more effectively enhance diamond OA ecologies for booksThe decade since the “Bottlenecks in the Open Access System” special issue of JLSC in 2014 has been an expansive one for open access (OA) and OA books in particular. The creation of a scholarly publishing ecosystem that enables works to be freely accessible for readers has been successful in many ways. However, the underlying politics and economics of OA scholarly publishing often remain opaque or under-interrogated (Lawson et al., 2015). The problems with journal OA funding, specifically regarding inequality of access to publishing, discussed by Bonaccorso et al. (2014) in their contribution to that issue, have also increased and become entrenched as we discuss below. This entrenchment has been largely via the growth and consolidation of gold OA, “transformative” agreements, and read-and-publish journal deals, which have effectively, and unnecessarily, commodified OA publications. We would argue that this is in direct tension with some of the foundations of contemporary OA. OA was explicitly described from early principles as not a business model and as aiming to reduce financial barriers from authors, libraries, and other groups (Suber, 2024). We would like to note that, while the main focus of this paper is books, we begin with a discussion of journals. This is because we are focusing on the history, development, and critiques of OA fundings in the intervening ten years following the “Bottlenecks” special issue. OA journal publishing has been at the forefront of discussions of OA funding, and it has dominated the last decade, and more, of this discussion; it would therefore be remiss of us not to discuss this history, the resulting current landscape of inequity, and the potential ramifications if this were to be transferred to OA books, a more nascent field in general.

@oatp 🙄 Just had a peek at this publication, and tbh, I am not sure if this has been written by a researcher, or some kind of AI ... no source refs provided for ca. 90% of the text, and looking at a couple of randomly-picked snippets such as

"Large-scale OA repositories like Open Book Publishers and OAPEN"

or

"Laika Verlag is known for publishing high-quality scholarly books under an open access model."

just smell really funny ...

Open Book Publishers' name might provide a subtle indication of their main area of work - hint: it starts with a "p" and ends with "ublishing books" - and the latter quote sounds like an actual hallucination ...

To grant them that, Laika actually is an independent publishing house based in Hamburg, but afaik have never really looked into publishing #OAbooks ... 🤷🏽‍♂️

📌 What about the #OpenAccess #OABooks Toolkit -- have you checked it out yet? - oabooks-toolkit.org/

“... for researchers as authors of academic books... intended to help authors to better understand open access book publishing and to increase trust in open access books.

... aimed at policy makers... provides a resource to support policy development for #OABooks... should also be of interest to the wider range of stakeholders... e.g., #libraries and #publishers...”

📌 PALOMERA Recommendations for #OpenAccess Books by 25 contributors (all with @ORCID_Org IDs)

“...an extensive set of actionable and aligned recommendations on (#OABooks for)... (1) Research Performing Organisations... and research institutes, (2) Public and private Research Funding Organisations (RFOs), (3) National policymakers, (4) Academic and national libraries, (5) Researchers, (6) Learned societies, (7) Infrastructure providers, and (8) Academic publishers…”

ZenodoPALOMERA Deliverable 4.2 - The PALOMERA Recommendations for Open Access BooksThe PALOMERA project set out to understand the policy landscape of OA books and the challenges preventing research funders and institutions in particular from including books in their OA policies. One of the project’s main goals was to support the key stakeholders in the field by providing evidence-based, aligned, and actionable recommendations that can help formulate OA book policies. Open Access books are defined here as scholarly, peer-reviewed books including monographs, book chapters, edited collections, critical editions, and other long-form scholarly works. Textbooks and popular science books are seen as a different category, although the policy recommendations could potentially be extended to this category of books as well when they are published Open Access. Open textbooks are deliberately left out from this definition because they require a different process: policies regarding open textbooks must take into account considerations about Open Educational Resources, which are beyond the remit of the PALOMERA project. In Deliverable 4.2, PALOMERA has developed an extensive set of actionable and aligned recommendations on Open Access (OA) books for eight stakeholders: (1) Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) and research institutes, (2) Public and private Research Funding Organisations (RFOs), (3) National policymakers, (4) Academic and national libraries, (5) Researchers, (6) Learned societies, (7) Infrastructure providers, and (8) Academic publishers. These stakeholders are uniquely positioned to drive a transition to OA books by embedding OA principles for books into their policies and strategies. Since the current landscape of OA book policies is characterised by a lack of policy alignment between various relevant stakeholders, this change requires an aligned effort based on policy recommendations for various stakeholders that are grounded in solid evidence. The evidence for these recommendations has been provided by the Knowledge Base developed in WP2, which contains over 650 open access policy and related documents and a set of 40 stakeholder interviews, as well as on the research undertaken in WP3 which provides a unique overview of the OA books policy landscape in Europe. For each set of recommendations, we have defined a timeline by prioritising recommendations in terms of short term (1-2 years), medium term (3 years), and long term (4-5 years) time frames. The project has performed three validation exercises to check the validity of 1) the data collection and methodology; 2) the analytical approach, methodology, and key findings; and 3) the recommendations themselves. This approach was chosen to increase the engagement with all relevant stakeholders and to strengthen the outcomes of PALOMERA. The recommendations integrate the valuable comments of two reviewers, as well as the constructive comments from the subgroup on scholarly communication of the European University Association’s (EUA) Expert Group on Open Science and the LIBER Working Group on Open Access.

Nice to see Cambridge University Press unafraid to advertise & highlight a book that has an open access edition (spotted on p.20 of the LRB, vol. 46, no. 18).

The book “Decolonizing the English Literary Curriculum” is available online & open access (link below) cambridge.org/core/books/decol

Remember folks: OA does not diminish print copy sales! Advertising the existence of an OA book is still a good idea, could potentially drive print copy sales.
