EU Workshop
In my capacity as Co-Director of the Open Library of Humanities (OLH), I was recently invited to give a talk at a workshop organised by the European Commission, Alternative Open Access Publishing Models. My talk offered an overview of the innovative business model that we are pioneering at the OLH, which publishes gold open access journal articles with no author-facing charges (APCs).
