[GOAL] New study on Open Access books

[Niels Stern]

The biggest landscape study on the conditions and potentials for Open
Access books yet has just been published: "A landscape study on open access
and monographs: Policies, funding and publishing in eight European
countries", http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.815932

The study builds on i.a. 73 in-depth conversations, conducted across eight
different countries (Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, United
Kingdom, France, Norway and Austria) to understand current developments
among three stakeholder groups: Publishers, funders and libraries. The
importance of author attitudes, scholarly reward and incentive systems is
also raised throughout the study by numerous interviewees.

The report is authored by Eelco Ferwerda, Frances Pinter and Niels Stern
and published by Knowledge Exchange http://www.knowledge-
exchange.info/event/open-access-monographs. The study has been financed by
Knowledge Exchange, FWF (Astria), CRIStin (Norway) and Couperin (France).

Please share and enjoy.
