The conference combines high-quality plenary presentations, lightning talks and breakout sessions with virtual social events and a major online trade exhibition.



UKSG Annual Conference 2021

We outline the work of a university press, with assistance from the COPIM Project (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs), in launching an innovative revenue model to fund open access monographs at a traditional publisher. Building on library journal subscription models like OLH and on Knowledge Unlatched's approach to monograph funding, we present a new, sustainable OA publishing model that gives members exclusive access to a highly-regarded backlist, with the revenue then used to make the frontlist openly accessible. The model can be emulated by other scholarly presses who wish to take advantage of the opportunities that open access publishing affords.
