Spotlight on Open Access Books at COASP 2012 | Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association Guest Blog: Janneke Adema, Directory of Open Access Books For the first time, 2012 saw the 4th Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing (COASP) feature an afternoon of sessions entirely dedicated to Open Access books. In his introduction, OAPEN’s Eelco Ferwerda highlighted that with this year’s milestones – the launch of the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), PKP’s Open Monograph Press, and Springer’s announcement of SpringerOpen books – the time for Open Access monograph publishing has arrived, culminating in Open Access books being made part of the program at COASP. Things are speeding up for books, Ferwerda remarked. However, there are still a lot of unknowns: What will be the main business model for Open Access books? After the introduction, Lars Bjørnshauge, SPARC Europe Director of European Library Relations, chaired the first session on funding and publication Models for OA Books. The second part of the Open Access Books session focused on publishing models.

Why publish a SpringerOpen book? Freely available online SpringerOpen books are freely and immediately available online at SpringerLink upon publication and are clearly labeled as 'open access'.

Europe PubMed Central Blog: UKPMC becomes Europe PubMed Central We are delighted to launch Europe PubMed Central (Europe PMC), which reflects a growing commitment from European Life Sciences research funders to make their research freely available around the world. As announced in July, the European Research Council (ERC) becomes the third European funder to join UKPMC, following Telethon Italy and the Austrian Research Fund. As a result of this participation, the 18 existing UK and European funders agreed that the UKPMC service should be rebranded as Europe PMC by 1 November 2012. The service can now be found at the following URLs: (For managing grants and publications for Europe PMC funder-supported researchers). (For showcasing new developments based on the content of Europe PMC). UKPMC was originally launched in January 2007, initially as a mirror of the US National Institute of Health’s PubMed Central (PMC), providing international preservation of open- and free-access biomedical literature.
