Luminos Open Access Model for Book Publishing

Mon, December 14, 2015 12:00 AM

The University of California Press recently announced its first five scholarly monographs published through Luminos -- its Open Access publishing program for books.  This new digital publishing program operates on a model of shared financial support with titles funded through UC Press contributions, funds from Luminos Member Libraries, and a title publication fee provided by authors.  Excess revenues are used to build a waiver fund for use by future authors.  Luminos provides authors the opportunity to increase their readership, especially by global audiences, due to the open access designation.
