Advancing Long-form Open Access Practice

RLUK in partnership with SCONUL and ARMA and with funding from UKRI seeks to articulate the current challenges and opportunities that UK research institutions face in responding to the evolving OA long-form publishing landscape.

The goal of the first work package of this project, commissioned from Information Power, is to deliver a report and roadmap to show where we are with long-form OA, share what has been learned, and to provide clarity and direction for where UK research organisations – in partnership with stakeholders with whom they want to travel – are going.

With the wider project ARMA, RLUK, and SCONUL have come together to enable a more coordinated and strategic approach in the transition to OA long-form publications. This project is a collective intervention to support UK research organisations in implementing OA: to reduce duplication, improve readiness, and support institutions ahead of likely future policy requirements.
