Open Book Futures

Open Book Futures is a research project funded by Research England and the Arcadia Fund, which follows on from the COPIM Project (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs) as an extension and acceleration to further expand and develop the infrastructures that were first created as part of the COPIM Project. Open Book Futures will also further nurture the 'more diverse, scholar-led, community-owned, and not-for-profit publishing ecosystem that enables smaller and more community-focused presses to thrive and multiply' envisioned at the beginning of COPIM's work, continuing the ethos of Scaling Small (Adema & Moore, 2021).
