Springer Nature claims to be one of the founding members of the new OAPEN toolkit for researchers and academic book authors. The toolkit is a free-to-access, stakeholder-agnostic resource that aims to help authors better understand open access (OA) for books, to increase trust in OA book publishing, to provide reliable and easy-to-find answers to questions from authors, and to provide guidance in the process of publishing an OA book.
Springer Nature seeks to increase awareness and understanding of OA books and encourage more authors to consider the option. OAPEN’s expertise in, and long-term commitment to, OA books makes them the ideal host and curator for the important resource.
More information on the toolkit can be found at https://www.oabooks-toolkit.org.
