Call

Supporting the development of aligned policies for open access books and monographs

Summary

This action aims to support the development of aligned institutional and funder policies and strategies regarding open access to books and monographs in Europe.

Detailed Call Description

Τhe action should support:

  1. activities that foster greater understanding of bottlenecks in the development of policies and strategies for open access to books and monographs by institutions and funders;
  2. the coordination of policies amongst funders and research institutions, and the sharing of good practices in policies and strategies for open access to books and monographs;
  3. actionable and evidence-based recommendations and resources for comprehensive institutional and funder policies for open access to books and monographs.

The action may also envisage international cooperation with entities outside the EU Member States and associated countries.

Monographs, books and other types of long-text formats are very important outputs in some disciplines, such as in the Social Sciences and the Humanities. Whilst many disciplines rely nearly exclusively on the production of articles, professional advancement requirements, as well as the nature of the research and the writing process in some disciplines, result in the unwavering significance of long-text formats and monographs, both in the digital and in the print formats.
