Green Open Access
AUP is supportive of Green Open Access initiatives and encourage authors to share the author’s version of their academic book chapters and monographs in institutional repositories, their personal website and on Mendeley, ResearchGate or Academia.edu and similar outlets. AUP has no embargos (delay / waiting time) for Green Open Access.
The author’s version is the manuscript after peer-review and accepted for publication, for instance as MS Word file, RTF or PDF, but not the AUP print proof or final PDF. When you share this version, please credit the original record as the book listed on the AUP website. Please include the ISBN for the book to make it easy for readers to cite the article, book chapter or monograph.
If your contribution is published as Immediate Open Access, you are free to share the official version of the PDF. You can find out the status of your book chapter or monograph on the AUP website.
Figshare
AUP works in partnership with Figshare, a web-based platform to help academic institutions manage, disseminate and measure the public attention of all their research outputs. AUP uses their repository software to quickly and efficiently make manuscripts and supplementary data publicly available in the AUP portal, aup.figshare.com. Authors can also submit their data in an easy-to-use submission system. Content published in the portal will benefit from tracked usage metrics – including Altmetrics – clear licencing information, previewed files, a citable digital object identifier (DOI), and more.
Knowledge Unlatched
AUP can nominate your book for inclusion in the Knowledge Unlatched initiative (KU); upon acceptance this initiative ensures OA free of charge for authors. KU offers free access to scholarly content for every reader across the world and their online platform provides libraries worldwide with a central place to support OA models from leading publishing houses and new OA initiatives.
OAPEN OA Books Toolkit
The OAPEN Foundation has an OA books toolkit for researchers and academic book authors. The toolkit covers specific topics related to open access books. Each article offers a quick and brief introduction to a particular aspect of open access book publishing. The toolkit also serves as a signposting tool: articles include a list of sources referenced, further reading and links to definitions of key terms. Access the toolkit via the OAPEN website: https://oabooks-toolkit.org.
