���߲ݴ�ý

This list has been developed to support University of ���߲ݴ�ý researchers in exploring different options for publishing their monographs open access. It is a non-exhaustive list of publishers, some of which charge mandatory Book Processing Charges (BPCs) and others which use alternative funding models (eg. library memberships), or charge optional BPCs if funding is available.

���߲ݴ�ý  can be used for monographs published with fully open access publishers charging reasonable BPCs (£8000 + VAT or less). You are welcome to apply to the fund if you are publishing with any of the publishers in List 1.

UKRI funded authors (including PhD students) are able to apply for funding of up to £10,000 per book and £1000 per chapter (including VAT) in order to help them comply with the open access policy. More information can be found in our UKRI open access policy guidance.

Researchers may find the useful. Developed by librarians in the UK and USA, OBE Dashboard aggregates information about costs associated with OA monograph publishing and publisher self-archiving policies for books and chapters. 

White Rose University Press

White Rose University Press is a non-profit, open access publisher of academic books and journals which is jointly run by the Universities of ���߲ݴ�ý, Leeds and York. A waiver fund is available to support University of ���߲ݴ�ý researchers with some or all of the open access costs. The fund is limited and applications are considered as they are received. More information is available on the . 

List 1: Fully open access publishers 

•  (one co-author must be affiliated to Cardiff University)
•  
•  
•  (one co-author must be affiliated to a participating institution)
•  (small number of books published non-OA)

List 2: Open access initiatives from hybrid publishers 

There are many monograph publishers that are not fully open access but which are experimenting with models to reduce the cost of BPCs or not charge BPCs at all. The list below gives examples of traditional publishers who have adopted innovative open access models and policies. University of ���߲ݴ�ý financially supports many of these publishers through contributing to library membership schemes.

Traditional monograph publishers (eg. Routledge, Palgrave Macmillan, Springer Nature, Oxford University Press) often also offer an open access route. These charges are likely to be high, and we are currently unable to fund them through the Institutional Open Access Fund. Funded researchers planning to apply to the UKRI central monograph fund should check the cost of a Book Processing Charge at an early stage in the process.
