Year 2 of COPIM: A roundup of what the COPIM project has achieved in our second year

COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs) was launched in November 2019. Funded by Research England and Arcadia Fund, COPIM is an international partnership of researchers, universities, librarians, open access book publishers and infrastructure providers who are building community-owned, open systems and infrastructures to enable open access book publishing to grow and flourish, according to the principles of scaling small. Put simply, library members pay a small annual fee to get DRM-free, unlimited access to a selection of a publisher’s backlist, with perpetual access after three years; the membership revenue is used by the publisher solely to produce new OA monographs.
