Knowledge Unlatched: results of 2020 pledging, extends to hundreds of titles in 2021

Knowledge Unlatched (KU), has announced the results of 2020 pledging round, which ended in December 2020. Overall, about 310 books and 34 journals will be published OA in 2021. KU will continue to make the title lists for each collection and unlatching status transparent and update this information regularly, so that librarians can clearly understand which titles are unlatched or will be unlatched soon. Some 630 institutions worldwide have supported KU initiatives to date. By the end of this year, KU’s total impact will number around 2,700 books, and over 50 journals made OA.
