Model will be based on institutional subscriptions rather than author fees
The Central European University Press has announced it is launching an “innovative” option for higher education institutions to fund the publication of academic monographs with open access—a model it says will reduce costs for institutional libraries while scrapping paywalls for readers.
CEUP said on 22 October that its Opening the Future project would be funded through a membership scheme for libraries, rather than through per-publication costs funded by authors, as a means of achieving open-access publication for books lacking funder support.
