The governance of the OBC has been designed to empower a unique collaborative community of open access book publishers, publishing service providers, libraries, and other knowledge institutions, and OA experts who have deep knowledge in the histories and theories of scholarly communications, all of whom have vested interests in growing the landscape of non-proprietary open access initiatives.
The governance of the OBC reflects an interdependent and mutually reliant community of persons and organisations, all devoted to bibliodiversity and the long-term sustainability of high-quality OA academic books and long-form scholarship.
Our Governance: Community-led and Centred
