*Call for submissions for the **Brill/IFLA Open Access award*



Brill and IFLA are pleased to announce the *2014 **Brill/IFLA Open Access
award*.



The *IFLA/Brill Open Access award* is created to reward initiatives that
facilitate and/or promote Open Access Scholarly Monographs in the
humanities or social sciences. This is in line with IFLA’s stated position
on Open Access, which aims to promote open access across its membership.
This is also in line with Brill’s open access
policy<http://www.brill.com/open-access-policy>.
“Open Access” in the context of this award refers to any structural
publication model, where the reader does not have to pay a fee to access
the leading version of a monograph and where the content is made available
without embargo.



The award will be given to the person/institute behind the initiative in
recognition of outstanding work and effort in facilitating, promoting,
advocating, raising awareness in regard to and/or disseminating Open Access
Scholarly Monographs published with an open license.

In 2013 the award was given to Open Book Publishers, Cambridge (UK). More
