JISC has released Open Access Monographs in the Humanities and Social Sciences Conference 1 and 2 July 2013, The British Library, London.
Here's an excerpt from the announcement:
The conference report provides an overview of all the presentations and sessions and distils the key messages into four points:
- Open access for monographs is not only possible but necessary if we want to be able to innovate, to communicate and disseminate humanities and social science research widely, and to build a sustainable future for the monograph.
- Effective quality assurance is key to the successful adoption of OA publishing.
- Collaboration throughout the supply chain and across national boundaries will be required
- We must be flexible and willing to accommodate innovative models, not only to sustain the monograph, but for peer review, impact and reputation.
