Reports on the Open Access landscape
This section includes reports on the current OA landscape in the UK and further afield.
We acknowledge that as the Copim Open Book Futures is primarily a UK-based project, we are working with a highly UK and Anglophone-focussed perspective. So while we have endeavoured to make sure that we include relevant resources from around the world, we are aware that we are likely to have missed many, particularly those that are not in English.
