JSTOR Introduces Path to Open Books Pilot Program
JSTOR, along with a cohort of university presses, is launching Path to Open, “a program to support the open access publication of new groundbreaking scholarly books that will bring diverse perspectives and research to millions of people.” During the pilot phase, “Path to Open libraries will contribute funds to enable participating presses to publish new books that will transition from licensed to open access within three years of publication. The initial pilot will produce about one thousand open access monographs. If successful, it will lay the foundation for an entirely new way to fund long-form scholarship while vastly increasing its impact.”Organizations that have been working with JSTOR on this pilot include the American Council of Learned Societies, University of Michigan Press, University of North Carolina Press, and LYRASIS. The first Path to Open books will be published in fall 2023. For more information, read the news item.
