Boydell & Brewer Gets on Board With the Opening the Future OA Publishing Model
Boydell & Brewer adopted the Opening the Future (OtF) program “to fund open access publishing at the press. In partnership with Fulcrum and Lyrasis, this collaboration aligns with Boydell & Brewer’s commitment to expanding open access publishing in a sustainable way, ensuring that more high-quality content can be made accessible globally.” Boydell & Brewer is “the first non-University Press to take up the OtF model, opening the pathway for other mission-driven, scholarly publishers.”The news item continues, “The program enables libraries to invest in open content without placing a disproportionate burden on any single institution. It increases their local collection through perpetual, DRM-free access to curated backlist books at discounted prices. Titles available are on medieval history and literature, music, African politics and economics, and film and theatre across the Hispanic, Lusophone, African, and Germanic worlds. The membership revenue is used only to produce new OA monographs, enabling greater equity for authors that don't have funding of their own.” For more information, read the news item.
