OAPEN started its activities on September 1, 2008 and has now completed its project phase co-funded by the European Commission. The final stage of the project focused on the launch of the OAPEN Library, usability, and especially sustainability after the project period. The results were presented during the final conference in Berlin in February 2011.
In the future OAPEN will continue as an independent foundation governed by representatives of the participating institutions. The objectives for the foundation are to stimulate further OA publishing of academic books, to further develop OAPEN as a platform for OA books and to develop a sustainable business model. In the meantime, OAPEN is conducting a number of experiments in Open Access book publishing, in the form of pilot projects. The first pilot is conducted in the Netherlands with support from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Ministry of Education. For the UK a similar pilot project is being prepared by JISC Collections.

About the Webinar
Link resolvers have become an important element of providing access to full-text electronic content and are now ubiquitous in both the library and publishing community. These systems work well enough a majority of the time. However, they are not entirely problem free, and as a result users may not always obtain access to information which their institutions have licensed for them. The management of the large volumes of linking data necessary to support these services is a problem in scale as well as in detail. Several NISO projects have sought to improve the reliability of these systems, including the Knowledgebases and Related Tools (KBART) and Improving OpenURL through Analytics (IOTA) initiatives.
This webinar will highlight these NISO projects and other community initiatives launched to create community-managed knowledge base repositories.

Open Access Repositories & Interoperable Usage Statistics: Current Developmen...uherb
The document discusses developments in open access repositories in Germany and Europe. It describes the heterogeneous repository software landscape and efforts to increase integration and standardization. It then outlines the Open Access Statistics project, which aimed to develop a common standard for exchanging usage data between repositories and provide aggregated usage information and metrics. The project created specifications and software modules and demonstrated the potential for a centralized infrastructure to process and exchange interoperable usage statistics. However, challenges around data volumes and standards remain. Further work is needed on privacy, metrics, and international cooperation.

CERN Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI9) - Workshop: In...Ronald Snijder
This tutorial is part of a number of sessions on the Institution as Publisher. The goal of the tutorial is to help interested librarians become Open Access publishers. The tutorial will start with a landscape overview and will use case studies from UCL press, Manchester University Press and Stockholm University Press. In a few hours, all the essential elements of academic publishing will be addressed: the workflow in publishing from manuscript submission to publication; the business plan; the technical infrastructure; funding models to sustain Open Access publishing; attracting authors to publish with the press.
OAPEN-NL builds on the European OAPEN-project which was set up to gain experience with Open Access publishing of academic books. In total 50 academic books were published in Open Access with subsidy from NWO. For every Open Access title, the publishers provided a similar title that was published in the conventional way for comparison. Research showed that publishing in Open Access had no effect whatever on the sale of books. The publisher’s fear that book sales would decline if publications would be available in Open Access, was unfounded. However, online usage of books in Open Access increased considerably as did online discovery of these books. Although online usage increased, this did not (yet) lead to an increase of citations in the research timeframe.
OAPEN-NL builds on the European OAPEN-project which was set up to gain experience with Open Access publishing of academic books. In total 50 academic books were published in Open Access in the OAPEN-NL pilot. OAPEN-NL gathered data of all 50 books to get an insight in the costs related to publishing academic books. Based on this research, publishing a monograph in the Netherlands costs an average of € 12,000. Roughly half of these costs are for the Open Access edition. Remaining costs regard printing and disseminating the paper version. These results are important for the funding of Open Access monographs in the Netherlands.
OAPEN: making monographs available - The European LibraryRonald Snijder
- The OAPEN Library aims to address the declining sales of monographs by providing open access to peer-reviewed academic books. It currently contains over 1,700 books across many subjects and languages.
- Connecting the OAPEN Library to other databases and library systems is crucial. Usage data from 2012-2013 showed nearly 1 million downloads from almost 400,000 unique visitors across many countries and user types.
- Providing open access to monographs through a collection like the OAPEN Library may help address the long-term crisis in monograph publishing.
The document summarizes the goals and operations of the OAPEN Library, an open access digital library of academic books. It discusses why starting an open access library is important given declining print book sales and rising serial costs. It also outlines how the library uses the XTF platform, partners with aggregators and libraries, and measures over 400,000 downloads annually to enhance the discoverability and usage of academic books. Future plans include expanding the number of publisher partners and ensuring long-term preservation of the collection.
OA academic book publishing – OAPEN Library and DOABRonald Snijder
This document discusses the decline in sales of academic monographs and introduces OAPEN and DOAB as possible solutions. OAPEN aims to develop an open access business model for academic books by building a network and aggregating open access publications. The OAPEN Library currently contains over 1000 open access books from 30 publishers. DOAB is a new discovery service that provides metadata for peer-reviewed open access books, addressing the need for alternative models to support open access publishing.
The document discusses searching the OAPEN Library, including searching by keyword for "The Sims", which returns several relevant titles. It also covers the XML and PDF versions available for one title and highlights keywords upon searching. Additionally, it describes using the advanced search, browse, and multilingual search options to translate keywords into different languages for searching.
OAPEN provides a platform for open access monographs and is exploring funding models for open access publishing. OAPEN's approach uses a hybrid model where the basic online edition is freely available open access while other editions can be sold. OAPEN is running pilots in the UK and Netherlands to test this model and measure the effect of open access on usage and sales. New projects are exploring open access monograph publishing in Sweden and across Europe through shared infrastructure between universities. Recommendations include using existing funds for publishing open access monographs and ensuring quality assurance through peer review.
Research on open access monographs – a short reviewRonald Snijder
This document summarizes research on open access monographs from Amsterdam University Press and the OAPEN project. It discusses studies that found open access increases discovery and usage of books, especially in developing countries, but does not influence sales. The OAPEN-NL pilot found publishers were doubtful of financial sustainability while authors were optimistic about scholarly impact. The OAPEN-UK pilot examined stakeholder needs and initial results showed concerns about long-term availability and business models. Analysis of OAPEN usage data found most downloads were from the general public internationally and academically internationally and nationally.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used.

The simplified electron and muon model, Oscillating Spacetime: The Foundation...RitikBhardwaj56
Discover the Simplified Electron and Muon Model: A New Wave-Based Approach to Understanding Particles delves into a groundbreaking theory that presents electrons and muons as rotating soliton waves within oscillating spacetime. Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
How to Add Chatter in the odoo 17 ERP ModuleCeline George
In Odoo, the chatter is like a chat tool that helps you work together on records. You can leave notes and track things, making it easier to talk with your team and partners. Inside chatter, all communication history, activity, and changes will be displayed.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

10. Scientific management
• Characteristics of publishing in the HSS 2011
– Heterogeneous, segmented, within language barriers
– Relation of the author to his book reflecting on the role of the book in
the discipline
– Considerable knowledge gaps regarding OA
– Cultural rift between the book and today‘s digital information
environment
– No relevant preprint/ post print‐culture
– Vulnerable market environment and mutual dependence of scientific
communities, publishers and funders
– Importance of public funding as subsidy to publishers
11. Scientific management
• Options to support OA in the HSS and OAPEN‘s approach
– Hybrid publishing as long as the paradigm shift occurs
– More research and stakeholders‘ inclusion to bridge the cultural rift
between books and the digital world
• Joint publishing experiments with publishers and research funders
• Promoting a transparent market environment
• Create OA awareness
• Recommendations/ Conclusions from OAPEN?

15. Publication model
• Hybrid model:
– OA edition + commercial editions
• Publication fee:
– publishers charge for OA edition
• Author retains copyright:
– CC‐licenses
• Long term availability:
– Repository infrastructure
– E‐depot National Library (KB)
16. Services
• Marketing services: standard
– Google Scholar, Worldcat, Amazon, GBS
• Publication services: optional
– PoD, DOI, XML, Review management
• Standard services:
– Part of membership package
• Optional services:
– Separate fees
17. Business plan
• Based on sustainability through fees from publishers
– Covering true cost of platform + services
• Helpful exercise – but not successful:
– Current market won’t accommodate sustainability through
fees from publishers
• Not enough OA funding (especially books & HSS)
– Therefore not enough OA publishers
• Remedial actions > Difficulties encountered
18. Legal framework for OA publishing
• Based on Berlin declaration
– Free use and reuse of information
• Creative Commons licenses:
– Recommended: CC BY‐NC (Hybrid publishing)
– Accepted: All rights reserved (free access to
backlist titles)
• Future: XML
– facilitating true reuse

34. Measuring performance
• Two main targets: awareness and practical achievements
• Raising awareness
– Perception and visibility of OA and OAPEN among stakeholders
– Changing the mindsets of stakeholders
Researchers Libraries Publishers Funders
• OA becoming an • Quite familiar with OA • Traditional business • Importance of
established model (but • No defined role in and publishing models exemplary solutions
not in the HSS) supporting HSS under pressure and experiments
• Persistent importance publishing • Majority is adopting a • Can exercise leverage
of monographs as • Open to experiments ‘wait and see‘‐ policy to re‐route budgets in
format but constrained • Convincing and scholarly
• Reputation and reward resources promotion still communication
system remains barrier necessary
Target achieved?
35. Measuring performance
• (2) Performance of the OAPEN Library
– Practical implementation of (yet to come) OA publishing in the HSS
• Availability of content: scarce but growing, strategic interest as condition
• Spreading of OA business models: scarce, importance of funders
– Scale of the library reflecting the relatively slow uptake of OA in the
HSS

54. OAPEN‘s stakeholder approach
• OAPEN‘s aims
– A sustainable publication model for academic books in the HSS
– To improve the visibility and usability of high quality academic
research
• OAPEN‘s motivation
– We‘re publisher‐driven
• Addressing the challenge of a changing publishing environment:
traditional models under pressure
• Contribute to the sustainability of publishers
– And mission‐driven
• OA not just seen from a technocratic standpoint
• Beneficial and cost‐efficient way of dissemination
55. Libraries
Just a virtual bookshelf?
• OAPEN as publisher‐driven project but also
representing the interests of libraries
• (1) Content aspect
– The OAPEN Library as freely available, standardized and
quality‐proven selection of scientific publications
– virtual shelf for libraries > showcase function
• (2) Systemic aspect
– OAPEN as catalyst in the transition process that libraries
currently undergo
– Knowledge sharing
– OAPEN as sandbox
56. Research
ers
Overcome author pays?
• Differentiation between producing role (authors)
and consuming role (readers)
– General arguments pro OA are also true for OAPEN
– But focusing on researchers as authors
– Readers are taken care of by the libraries
• An unique OAPEN asset
– trade‐off for the wide‐spread author‐pays‐model through
a publication model based on the funding for an OA
publication by research funders and not the author
– OAPEN Pilots and dedicated publication funds to facilitate
a sustainable OA publishing for publishers and authors

58. Funders
„Not more of the same but…“
• Sijbolt Noorda (VSNU): „OA doesn‘t necessarily mean
to pump more money into the publishing system but
to channel the money already being spent in other,
more efficient ways.“
• What‘s in the interest of research funders and what
can OA (or OAPEN) deliver?
– cost‐effective way to spend public money
– quality‐assured scientific content
– transparent and competitive system
– Considering economic AND scientific factors equally
63. OAPEN Foundation
• Objectives:
– Promoting OA book publishing in HSS
– Developing OAPEN Library
