Open Access Transformation Packages
We are committed to make open access publishing possible for all our book authors in the future. With this vision in mind, we have developed new transformation and funding models for open access books. Together with partners like the Göttingen State & University Library and Jisc, we have been able to transform almost 100 books to open access through these collaborative funding models in recent years, without any costs to the authors.
The crowdfunding is organized exclusively through established library infrastructures. Instead of purchasing the ebook license or the printed book as in the past, participating institutions fund the open access publication of selected new publications in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
