Press release, 12-02-2008

*Positive evaluation from European Commission for proposal "Open Access
Publishing in European Networks" (OAPEN)*
*
*
The European Commission announced that the proposal from Amsterdam
University Press together with five European University Presses within
the/ e/Content/plus/ Programme, has been selected for negotiations on
funding. The opening of negotiations starts in March 2008. Completion of
negotiations, award decision and signature of grant agreements are
expected in May 2008.
OAPEN intends to develop and implement an Open Access publication model
for peer reviewed academic books in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
This Open Access publication model will also serve as a model in other
scientific domains and improve the spread of European research results.
The project aims to achieve a sustainable European approach to improve
the quantity, visibility and usability of high quality academic research
and foster the creation of new content by developing future-oriented
publishing solutions, including an Online Library.
OAPEN addresses the needs of small to medium enterprises and
not-for-profit publishers and seeks to offer solutions to both
publishers and others stakeholders, such as authors, libraries, research
funding bodies, and policy makers.
OAPEN will also aggregate content from other publishers in the
Humanities and Social Sciences in order to expand the available Open
Access content by achieving critical mass and building up the OAPEN
European Digital Library.
The project is the first of its kind and, if funded, is intended to
start in September 2008.
