This report sketches the landscape of university-based not-for-profit publishing in Europe with a primary focus on open access publishing of journals. It aims to provide an understanding of the different types of initiatives in terms of size, operational and business models, technologies used, stakeholder involvement, concentration of scientific fields, growth, as well as regional characteristics. On account of the wealth and diversity of the different initiatives taking place in Europe and elsewhere, this report cannot be perceived as comprehensive. Rather, it points to important issues that need to be addressed, while gathering as much information as possible and highlighting particular cases of interest, which serve to illustrate the various points made.
