Scholarly publishing type, into standards and infrastructure and open access. Also fibre arts and probably some cat stuff
Starting in May, OBF will reunite many of the COPIM project partners, including Birkbeck, University of London, Coventry University, Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), Jisc, Loughborough University, Open Book Collective (OBC), @OpenBookPublish, punctum books, Thoth, and Trinity College, Cambridge University, and they will also be joined by a wide range of new partners including Continental Platform/University of Cape Town, the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative (COKI), the Digital Preservation Coalition, the Educopia Institute, Knowledge Futures, Lyrasis, @operaseu, Public Knowledge Project (PKP), Research Libraries UK (RLUK), SciELO Books, Scottish Universities Press/SCURL, and SPARC Europe. The project is also supported by Lancaster University Library.
@drAChiarelli thanks!
Hi @drAChiarelli I can't see an open call on that page, or anywhere on the OASPA site - where should I send my proposal?
@LauraBarry Glad you think so!
it would be helpful to see the self-published and partner-published societies separated out for accuracy
I'm not part of SocPC any more but that table disguises nuance: the per-publication figures are total revenues and costs divided by total count of published articles for _all_ members (i.e. self-published and partner-published)
BUT only the self-published members of SocPC have significant publishing costs - making that £730 artificially low.
If you're in #scholarlypublishing and interested in usage metrics, you may know that COUNTER Release 5.1 is coming soon. I'm writing all-new Friendly Guides to go along with it, so let me know if there's something particular you'd like to see!
Paul FenwickSo it turns out I can do three-ply by hand, it's just extra fiddly while I get used to it.
I'd happily do this for something that needs the extra strength and consistency (like a bowstring), but will likely stick with two-ply for everyday use.
Ross MounceGreat to see OA.works making tools that really help research funders to track OA policy compliance. Read more about it here: https://blog.oa.works/oa-report-helps-funders-measure-and-increase-oa-policy-compliance-and-their-investments-impact/
