Invitation to participate in a survey on 'Funding of Monographs in the HSS'
16/10/2009
Open Access Publishing in European Networks (OAPEN) is currently conducting a survey about the 'Funding of Monographs in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS)'. The survey invites authors/editors, funders and publishers to estimate how books are currently funded and how this might be complemented by funding opportunities for Open Access publishing of books. We welcome you to take part in the survey or to send it on to others who might be interested. The outcomes of the survey will support OAPEN in the development and implementation of an Open Access publication model for peer reviewed academic books in HSS.
The survey is based on the observation that publishing of monographs (including anthologies) in HSS often relies on additional funding on the part of authors/editors as costs can not solely be met by revenues of sales. So far funding institutions have mainly supported the print production and based their funding models on the traditional book market. The combination of a free (open access) electronic version (access, searchability, quick citability etc.) with a convenient pay print version offers new opportunities in visibility and dissemination.
