We are a collective of libraries and university-based publishers changing the way that academic research is supported and disseminated.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
We publish leading academic journals that are openly available – free to read, published with no embargos, and with no author payments. We believe that high-quality research should be available to all.
We work closely with libraries and funders to support the transition from a profit-driven commercial publishing model to a community-governed publishing model. All funds are invested in our journals and the research communities that make them possible.
Our expertise as university-based publishers places us at the heart of the academic community. We provide a sustainable future for academic journals, providing financial, legal and technological support.
We are academic authors, editorial boards, and scholarly associations calling for transformative change to the way in which our research is published and disseminated. We stand united against the commercialisation of our work by global publishing corporations.
We are library directors, subject librarians, and open research specialists who reject the current profit-driven publishing model. We want to divest library budgets away from commercial packages and invest in a sustainable community-led publishing future.
We are trusted university presses, library-based publishers, and scholarly associations with decades of experience publishing high-quality academic journals. We want our journals to be open access and integrated into a system of open infrastructure that places our values above profits.
We work with academics, librarians, and publishers.
