Liverpool University Press has been running the Opening the Future OA monograph funding model for over two years. During that time, we have been able to publish 5 new OA frontlist titles solely through the support of our library members, of which the details are available below. We are grateful to all our library supporter members for enabling this. We have several more titles forthcoming, confirmed as funded via OtF, details below.
As this model works differently to many subscription/collective monograph funding models, there is no in-built threshold: instead frontlist titles are opened up as soon as the funds become available. Every single subscription counts towards enabling the publication of a forthcoming book as OA. For more detailed information about our financial targets and projections, please see our resources page.
If your library would like to help tip the balance and enable the next book to come out, please visit our membership options page: lup.openingthefuture.net/packages/
