New Features, New Publishers and Growth
Growth and new publishers
We now have over 8000 books from over 200 publishers listed in DOAB. We are
happy to say DOAB consistently features among the fastest growing OA
resources in the blog post on ‘Dramatic Growth of Open Access’
http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1&id=1edaf85466&e=a365af965a
by
Heather Morrison in The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics. This year
DOAB features as number one and two in growth by percentage, with a 68%
growth for books and 40% for publishers in the past year.
Since the start of 2017, we have added 50 new publishers to DOAB. An
important contribution to this year’s growth is thanks to our cooperation
with OpenEdition
http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1&id=0f47cb8b82&e=a365af965a,
who added the OA books of 26 new publishers, among others: Presses Sorbonne
Nouvelle, Presses universitaires d'Aix-Marseille and Presses universitaires
de Rennes. Other new publishers listed in DOAB in 2017 are: LIBRUM
Publishers, University of North Texas Press, Edition Open Access, Carl
Grossmann Verlag, Heidelberg University Publishing and through our
cooperation with SciELO: Editus and Editora UEPG.
New features DOAB: chapter level metadata and ONIX import
DOAB is taking part in a European Horizon 2020 project (HIRMEOS), to
develop a certification service for OA book publishers. As part of this
project, new features are being added to DOAB. It is now possible to
distinguish between chapters and books. A chapter is clearly indicated at
the publication’s record. Also, funder information is now included in the
metadata. Have a look at this example
http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1&id=b8b95856ad&e=a365af965a
of
a chapter where both additions are in place.
Another important new feature of DOAB is the possibility for publishers to
get their publications and metadata indexed in DOAB through ONIX XML
import. If you are a publisher in DOAB and would like to know more about
ONIX import, please contact our technical coordinator Ronald Snijder.

The program helps authors focus on their research, while paperwork and

OAPEN deposit service and compliancy list for publishers

hosts
books and chapters in open access and works with several funders to host
long-text publications resulting from the research they fund. Authors and
publishers can deposit relevant research publications directly in the OAPEN
Library.
The service is intended for books and chapters based on research funded by
OAPEN’s partners: the European Research Council,
http://doabooks.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1&id=4ce3e3bdf6&e=a365af965a

and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF)
http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1&id=31a32c9cea&e=a365af965a

For authors of publications based on ERC funded research, a separate
section with additional ERC specific information has been set up:
http://www.oapen.org/content/erc-deposit
http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1&id=85d84d699a&e=a365af965a
Publishers and authors can deposit their book or chapter online by filling

.
As part of the deposit service for OA books and chapters, OAPEN has
introduced a list of book publishers that comply with the OA requirements
of the ERC, Wellcome and FWF. OAPEN’s goal is to inform researchers about
compliant publishers, but also to encourage publishers to adjust their
policies so that they become compatible with funders’ requirements.
The list with the first publishers that have joined can be found here:
