OA Progress

Library feedback

Avoiding double-dipping

All new frontlist titles are at first planned as traditionally-sold ‘closed’ books. But as soon as we have accrued enough library support to fund a book, we change the metadata before any sales are made and our distributors move the book to an OA status. This happens well before the book is published: so far, we’ve estimated between 2-3 months.

Please note that GOBI now indicates if a book is available OA and does so as soon as our metadata is changed to OA status. You are still able to purchase print or digital editions as usual.

Incorporating feedback

We welcome your views on how long this lead time should be for you, or any other thoughts and suggestions. This is still a very new programme and we’re working hard to make sure it is efficient for our library partners.
