DOAB online discussion</h2>
>From the 9<sup>th</sup> until the 22<sup>nd</sup> of July DOAB hosted an online discussion on Open Access books with publishers, academics, librarians, and participants from the wider Open Access and publishing community. During these two weeks a variety of
topics have been discussed ranging from what is an Open Access book, to issues related to quality control, peer review, copyright, and business and funding models for Open Access books. The discussion provided us with some valuable insights that will be used
to formulate recommendations for the DOAB and that will guide further research.<br>
<br>
As we felt the mailing list on which the discussion took place might serve a valuable function outside and beyond the context of this discussion, we will continue it as a place for conversation, consultation, and announcements with respect to Open Access books.
