Giving this event a bit of a bump because there are a handful of spots left: an informal workshop talking abt assessment criteria for OA book publishers eg how can libraries begin to evaluate all the models out there & work out which they can financially support? Free to attend!

During the OPERAS conference, members of the #PALOMERA project team will present the poster focused on the OA monographs landscape in the ERA from a methodological perspective. If you are attending and wish to hear more, you can find more info: bit.ly/3uVnJKl

During the OPERAS conference, Niels Stern will be talking about the #PALOMERA Funder Forum as a case-study of #OAbooks policy alignment in the making. If you are attending and wish to join this session, you can find more info: bit.ly/3uVnJKl

Really glad to launch this series on OA books around the world, focusing on different regions & written in different languages (w/English translation)

It's in response to helpful feedback from our oabooksnetwork survey last year to include more about different 🌎 contexts

- If I publish OA I won't get royalties
