    <p class="western" style="text-align:justify;" lang="en-GB">We’re

      very pleased to announce a partnership between Paperity, the

      open-access aggregator, and the Open Library of Humanities. This

      is part of the ongoing commitment to solid discoverability

      principles for open-access articles at the OLH.</p>

    <p class="western" style="text-align:justify;" lang="en-GB"><a

        href="http://paperity.org/">Paperity</a> is the first

      multi-disciplinary aggregator of Open Access journals and papers.

      It aims to give readers easy and unconstrained access to thousands

      of journals from hundreds of disciplines, in one central location;

      to help authors reach their target audience, disseminate

      discoveries more effectively and maximize research impact; and to

      raise the exposure of journals, helping editors and publishers

      boost readership and encourage new submissions.</p>

    <p class="western" style="text-align:justify;" lang="en-GB">The <a

        href="https://about.openlibhums.org/">Open Library of Humanities</a>

      is an academic-led, gold open-access publisher with no

      author-facing charges. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon

      Foundation, the platform covers its costs by payments from an

      international library consortium, rather than any kind of author

      fee.</p>

<p class="western" style="text-align:justify;" lang="en-GB">Dr.

      Martin Paul Eve, a founder and academic project director of the

      OLH, said of the partnership: “We are delighted to have OLH

      journals indexed in Paperity. It is vital that we encourage

      discoverability and indexing of open-access material so that the

      broadest scholarly benefit is derived from our work. Along with

      their aggregation services, Paperity’s partnership with EBSCO

      Information Services and Altmetric will help us to achieve this

      goal.”</p>

    <p class="western" style="text-align:justify;" lang="en-GB">Marcin

      Wojnarski, CEO of Paperity, added: “It is real pleasure for us to

      include OLH in Paperity. The humanities started embracing Open

      Access a long time ago and today there are already thousands of

      journals publishing OA, but so far these efforts have been very

      dispersed and disconnected from each other, without any clear

      leader to advocate for openness on behalf of all humanities

      scholars. We hope the OLH project, with its broad support among

      academics, innovative funding model and a strong commitment to

      publishing multiple high-quality journals in various areas of

      humanities research, will take the lead in the transformation

      towards universal Open Access and will pave the way for many other

      humanities journals to join the Open Access movement. We think OLH

      is an exceptional initiative, and very much needed in the

      humanities disciplines.”</p>

    <p class="western" style="text-align:justify;" lang="en-GB">Four OLH

      journals have been included in Paperity right after their launch,

      and more will be added in the near future. The complete list can

      be found at:<br>
