My post on 'Experimenting with Copyright Licences' consistent with a collaborative, radically relational approach is now up on COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs) project website.

https://copim.pubpub.org/pub/combinatorial-books-documentation-copyright-licences-post6/release/1

It's part of the documentation for Ecological Rewriting, which is the first book coming out of the Combinatorial Books: Gathering Flowers/Open Humanities Press pilot.

http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/series/liquid-books/

It discusses both Creative Commons licenses and Collective Conditions for Re-Use (CC4r) by way of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's 2017 book Assembly.

Don't forget to register for the COPIM end-of project virtual conference, “Scaling Small: Community Owned Futures for Open Access Books”, taking place today and tomorrow!

📅 Thurs 20 April at 3.30pm-8.15pm (BST) - Fri 21 April 3pm-7pm (BST)

If you're at a #Scottish #university, believe in #openaccess, and have a monograph nearly finished and not yet under contract, then...

18th January is the deadline for the first call for monographs from the new Scottish Universities Press @[email protected]

Monograph must be nearly completed (i.e. to be delivered later this year). An open call for other monographs will follow in February. See https://www.sup.ac.uk/
