<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">** Jisc Collections - OAPEN project for OA monograph services<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">OAPEN is pleased to announce a new pilot project in partnership with Jisc Collections, to co-design and set up a centralised service with UK universities to support and encourage the publication of Open Access
(OA) peer-reviewed monographs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In recent years OA scholarly monographs have gained considerable momentum, and the number of OA monographs being published worldwide has shown a marked increase. The EU has included research monographs in
their OA policy for Horizon 2020, including a pilot to enable funding of OA publications after the grant period. In the UK the Wellcome Trust is the first UK-based funder to extend its OA mandate to monographs and chapters; universities are engaged in OA monograph
publishing or encouraging OA for monographs; OAPEN-UK is an ongoing project to gather evidence on the potential for OA monograph publishing; and finally, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Library are launching a research project about
"The Academic Book of the Future".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">OAPEN (http://www.oapen.org/home) offers OA infrastructure for book publishing in a number of ways, including quality assurance; aggregation and deposit of OA publications; discovery and dissemination; digital
preservation of OA books; reporting and statistics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Jisc Collections (https://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/) is a division of Jisc Collections and Janet Ltd. It supports the procurement of digital content for education and research in the UK, and manages a large
number of research projects addressing innovative resource creation and provision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The pilot will be conducted with universities that have an interest in OA monographs – as university-based publishers, consumers, or supporters. The project is being prepared in consultation with SCONUL and
RLUK and other stakeholders, in particular research funders and independent publishers, will also be involved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The pilot will be carried out on co-design principles – to ensure it can meet the needs of universities and provide evidence of demand. It aims to set up and test central services, prioritising the following
main functions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">* support quality assurance of OA books;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">* aggregation and deposit of OA books and chapters;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">* improve dissemination and discovery of OA books;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">* report about OA policies and usage<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The project has three separate stages with the following deliverables:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">* Stage 1: Research phase – Workshop; report on evidence for the value of a potential service; project plan;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">* Stage 2: Explore central services - Specification of potential operational services for UK universities; development of pilot(s);<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">* Stage 3: Evaluation and implementation plan - Evaluation of project results; report on recommendations; business plan for the creation and sustaining of a centralised service.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The pilot project, funded by Jisc Collections, starts this month and will continue for one year. The goal is to establish a set of centralised services for UK universities to support OA monographs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
