SCOAP³ Books (provided by HEAL-Link)
The SCOAP3 for Books initiative is a pilot that the SCOAP3 Governing Council (GC) has established at its May 2019 meeting to leverage the strong network of the Collaboration and the relationships with scholarly publishing to transition key textbooks and monographs in particle physics and neighboring fields to open access.
The project was designed and is run by a working group comprised of volunteers from among the SCOAP3 partner institutions. A pilot phase ran from May 2021 to Nov 2022 and converted 113 books (monographs and textbooks) to Open Access. The success of this pilot was demonstrated by a preliminary usage analysis indicating an increase of book downloads by a factor of 13, while the geographical usage also increased dramatically. Building on this, the SCOAP3 Governing Council agreed to establish a recurring books programme starting in 2023 and prioritising frontlist titles selected through a rigorous selection process.
