This event aims to widen the dialogue on open access books, examining the implications of UK policy for research culture and values.

The event will reflect on the most recent findings from the Universities UK open access reports and provide a platform for gathering additional evidence and feedback from across the university sector.

Incorporating representatives from funding agencies, the UUK working group on open access monographs, REF panelists and PVCrs, publishers, learned societies, scholarly associations and researchers from a range of institutions – who will highlight both the challenges and opportunities of open access monograph publishing – the event will be structured around the following questions:

What is the current UK policy on open access, and on open access monographs in particular?
What is at stake for REF 2027, research culture and values, ECRs and diversity in scholarly publishing and practice?
Who benefits from open access or from publishing as usual?
What are the challenges of open access monograph publishing?
What kind of experiments are made possible, what collaborations might emerge?
Why publish, and where might online, open and platform-based publishing lead us next?
What changes might be respectively desirable, equitable and feasible at national and global scale? Or result as consequences from open access developments?
