Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Open Access Publishing in European Networks Foundation (OAPEN) is a non-profit organisation that supports open-access publishing of peer-reviewed scholarly books,[1] particularly in the humanities and social sciences.[2] The foundation provides infrastructure[3] for hosting, dissemination, and the long-term preservation of open-access monographs and edited collections.[4][5] It is a founding member of the European research infrastructure OPERAS, serving as the national node for the Netherlands.[6][7] It is based in the National Library at The Hague, Netherlands. Its current[when?] director is Niels Stern.[citation needed]

Establishment

[edit]

OAPEN began as a co-funded European Union project, under the EU's eContentplus programme, which aimed to improve the access and use of digital content across Europe.[8] The original OAPEN project, which ran from 2008 to 2011, aimed to explore and promote sustainable models for open access monograph publishing in Europe.[9] After the project's conclusion, the OAPEN Foundation was created as an independent, non-profit organisation under Dutch law, to continue this work and to provide a permanent infrastructure for OA books[10]

Projects

[edit]
  • The OAPEN Library: A global digital library for hosting and disseminating scholarly OA books, free to use, no registration required.
  • Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB): A free global discovery service developed in partnership with OpenEdition to index peer-reviewed OA books
  • OAPEN Open Access (OA) Books Toolkit: A free resource intended to help authors to better understand open access book publishing and to increase trust in open access books.

Partnerships

[edit]

OAPEN has a number of partnerships in the fields of research and scholarly communications across Europe, including:
