Jisc has launched a new future-proofed OA for books tool that gives users a simple overview of research publisher open access policies in a single interface, creating a more efficient and streamlined process.

The new tool, ‘OA for books’ will help authors and research organisations make informed and confident decisions in open access publishing and compliance, and will enable everyone involved in the research publication process – including authors, librarians and repository administrators – to seamlessly check whether a publisher supports compliance with UK Research and Innovation’s open access policy requirements for longform outputs.
