Following the principle of 'Scaling Small',[3] the project aims to build not-for-profit community-owned, open infrastructures to enable open access book publishing to prosper.[4]

COPIM has been named as a Supporting Action[5] in UKRI's 2020 Open Access Review Consultation.[6]

Work Packages

In seven distinct Work Packages, the project explores:[7]

  • how to scope and build support for an integration of open access books in libraries;[8][9][10]
  • how to build a collective of librarians, publishers and researchers invested in sustainable OA through a not-for-profit, community-governed OA book revenue management and information exchange platform;[11]
  • how to establish funding models that enable a transition of legacy publishers' existing business models to non-BPC OA;[12][13]
  • research on, and implementation of robust governance models for not-for-profit, community-owned digital infrastructures such as those being developed in other work packages;[14]
  • channels of OA book discovery and dissemination, culminating in the development of an open-source OA book metadata creation and dissemination system and service;[15][16]
  • how to establish more robust ways to tackle the technical and legal impediments to a more streamlined process of archiving and preservation of OA books technical and legal solutions.[17]
