Abstract

Liverpool University Press and the University of Liverpool Library collaborated to publish two open access monographs to gain insights into each other’s processes and requirements, and improve the guidance provided to researchers and authors. Lessons learned include researchers’ knowledge of publishing and open access, the monograph publishing process and costs involved, licences and third-party content and the marketing and discoverability of open monographs. Researchers, particularly those at the start of their career, may not have much knowledge and experience of publishing and so it is important for publishers to be as transparent as possible about the processes involved, and for libraries to ensure they are providing sufficient guidance. Knowledge about publishers’ processes and costs allows libraries to have a better understanding about what is reasonable to expect and for researchers to better plan costs for funding applications. Transparency from publishers about the types of costs involved, as well as a greater understanding of the financial requirements of libraries and their institutions, will allow publishers to plan their marketing of open monographs more effectively. The project demonstrated that collaboration between libraries and publishers can be extremely valuable and beneficial to both.
跨校园合作:来自图书馆和“老”大学出版社合作伙伴关系的开放专著见解
利物浦大学出版社和利物浦大学图书馆合作出版了两本开放获取专著,以深入了解彼此的流程和要求,并改进为研究人员和作者提供的指导。经验教训包括研究人员对出版和开放获取的知识、专著出版过程和所涉及的成本、许可证和第三方内容以及开放专著的营销和可发现性。研究人员,特别是那些刚开始职业生涯的研究人员,可能没有太多出版知识和经验,因此出版商对所涉及的过程尽可能透明,图书馆确保提供足够的指导,这一点很重要。通过了解出版商的流程和成本,图书馆可以更好地了解合理的预期,研究人员也可以更好地规划资助申请的成本。出版商对所涉及成本类型的透明度,以及对图书馆及其机构的财务要求的更深入了解,将使出版商能够更有效地规划公开专著的营销。该项目表明,图书馆和出版商之间的合作对双方都非常有价值和有益。
