The OAPEN Library has reached a new milestone - 30,000 OA books are available to read for FREE on https://oapen.org. #oabooks

Why do #OAbooks tend to take a back seat in the #OpenAccess transformation in OA policies, strategies and funding guidelines?
Project PALOMERA is now conducting a survey to investigate the background and derive recommendations for future policies to strengthen open access for books. Interested parties can participate in the English-language survey until September 15.

Warum stehen #OAbooks in der #OpenAccess-Transformation in OA-Policies, -Strategien und Förderrichtlinien eher im Hintergrund?
Das Project PALOMERA untersucht in einer Umfrage jetzt die Hintergründe und leitet daraus Empfehlungen für künftige politische Maßnahmen ab, um Open Access für Bücher zu stärken. Interessierte können bis zum 15. September an der englischsprachigen Umfrage teilnehmen.

Is there someone from Edinburgh University Press around here? Apparently their "open access" ebooks require registration before download, which is... well, free, but not open access. https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-regimes-of-mobility.html #OABooks #OpenAccess

@dani What's your goal?

You can get a #DOI by depositing the book on #Zenodo.
https://zenodo.org

Otherwise there are all the usual self-publishing options like BOD https://www.bod.de/autoren.html or #OAbooks avenues for researchers https://www.oabooks-toolkit.org/lifecycle/3044370-write-submit-manuscript/article/846429-how-to-choose-a-publisher-for-your-open-access-book (these are usually optimised for prestige, not convenience or cheapness; it's unlikely they'd cost less than 125 $ even if you find one which is explicitly not peer reviewed).
