Brill Open Available for Books
Leiden (NL) / Boston (MA) - 19 August 2013
Brill extends Brill Open, its Open Access model, to include books.
As a major publisher in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Biology and
International Law, Brill is committed to enhancing access to academic
content in any sustainable way. Since its academic book publications
are a cornerstone of the program, it is extending Brill Open to
include monographs and edited volumes.
Brill Open offers authors the choice to make their research freely
accessible online in exchange for a Publication Charge. Brill Open is
made available to authors only upon acceptance of their manuscript for
publication. This requires a positive outcome of the peer review
process and Brill's editorial decision making. Titles published in
Brill Open undergo the same rigorous peer review and uphold the same
high-quality publication standards that Brill is known for. Brill Open
is a sustainable, high-quality and accessible mode of publication.
Brill Open is available for books accepted for publication under Brill
and its imprints. Authors retain copyright of their work in exchange
for a Book Publication Charge (BPC). Upon receipt of the BPC, the
title will be made freely accessible on Brill's Online Books and
Journals<http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/> platform under a
Creative Commons license:<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/> CC-BY
or CC-BY-NC. The type of license determines the applicable rights and
the level of the Book Publication Charge (BPC). For an overview of the
current BPCs see: brill.com/brillopen<http://www.brill.com/brillopen>.
All Brill Open book titles are listed in the Directory of Open Access
Books<http://www.doabooks.org/> (DOAB), of which Brill is a proud
sponsor, and are available through all Brill's regular trade channels.
Brill believes in sustainable models that enhance the quality and
dissemination of academic content. For this reason Brill is
participating in a number of Open Access initiatives, among others the
OAPEN pilot study into the effects of Open Access on books in the
Humanities and Social Sciences.
