Academic publisher Palgrave Macmillan has announced its membership of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), a trade association which represents the interests of open access publishers in all academic disciplines.
OASPA enables exchange of information, setting standards, advancing models, advocacy, education, and the promotion of innovation in open access.
Palgrave Macmillan published its first open access monograph, Fungal Disease in Britain and the United States 1850-2000, funded by The Wellcome Trust, under a CC-BY license in November 2013. However, an open access option has been available for journals since 2011, and for Palgrave Pivots and monographs since January 2013.
