While a lot of the focus for open access is on journals, there are now many book publishers that authors can work with to make monographs and edited collections open, such as the Scottish Universities Press of which Edinburgh Napier is a supporting member.

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has published some case studies on Researchers’ experience of publishing academic books open access, ‘to help researchers learn from the experiences of authors who have published monographs and edited collections open access. The case studies share examples of opportunities, challenges, and lessons learnt’.
