Sebastian Nordhoff replied to the topic Business Models for Open Access Books in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 5 years, 4 months agoI had a look at @scholtom‘s report. Very nice work. The section on “subscribe-to-open” lists Language Science Press.

I can see how we ended up there, but the model is slightly…[Read more]

Pierre Mounier replied to the topic Meet the members of the Open Access Books Network in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoBecause I think that giving free access to books and their content is just the continuation in the online world of what libraries have been doing for decades: give access to knowledge to everyone. Public libraries have been deemed essential to democratic societies since the 19th century and there is no reason that it changes, even though, today,…[Read more]
