OPEN BOOK PUBLISHERS COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY

Open Book Publishers (OBP), founded in 2008, is a leading independent open access academic press that publishes peer-reviewed, award-winning monographs, edited collections, textbooks, critical translations and more. We are a non-profit social enterprise based in the UK and run by academics and we are committed to making high-quality research available to every reader. All our books are freely available in open access formats (PDF, HTML and sometimes XML), as well as high-quality, affordably priced paperbacks, hardbacks, and EPUBs. We do not charge our authors to publish with us and they retain full copyright. We are an influential member of a growing international network of publishers, scholars, librarians and infrastructure providers who believe that it is time for academic book publishing to become fairer, faster and more accessible. We are a UK-registered Social Enterprise and Community Interest Company (CIC) run by scholars. We believe that knowledge should be freely available to everyone. We believe that open access is financially more efficient and intellectually more inclusive, responsive, and therefore more effective than traditional legacy publishing, and we are working to create a world in which all books are published open access.
