www.knowledgeunlatched.org Follow us @kunlatched KnowledgeUnlatched KU Marketplace

Knowledge Unlatched (KU) makes scholarly content freely available to everyone and contributes to the further development of the Open Access (OA) infrastructure. Our online marketplace provides libraries and institutions worldwide with a central place to support OA collections and models from leading publishing houses and new OA initiatives. With their support we transition monographs and journals in a wide variety of disciplines from paywalled to Open Access content. Additionally, KU offers various tools and services for stakeholders in the OA community.

Our goal is simple: We want to make Open Access work! KU Open Funding for Institutions The Central Platform for Open Access Publishing

KU Open Funding is a marketplace system, bringing institutions, researchers and Open Ac- cess publishers together. Publishers have their OA offers in one central place, increasing access and visibility for researchers. The platform is designed to give researchers the option to filter through a list of predefined publishing offers, which have been approved by his/her library or institution for funding. It allows researchers to find the right publication offer for their publication needs, enabling a smooth OA publishing experience. Additionally, BPC payment through KU Open Funding is hassle-free and a streamlined process for all involved. We would say that KU Open Funding benefits all stakeholders involved in Open Access publishing.

How it Works

1. Publishers insert their offers and publication specifications into the KU portal 2. Institutions can deposit an amount for Book Processing Charge funding with KU 3. The researcher selects her/his most suitable offer by filtering the criteria on the Open Funding platform 4. The publisher is notified and peer reviews the manuscript to evaluate the content 5. Once the publisher confirms the manuscript, KU and the author will be notified 6. The publisher and the author start producing the monograph 7. Once the book is finished, the publisher is paid by KU from the deposited funds Benefits for Institutions & Researchers

Libraries receive an overview of OA publishing offers from a large number of publishers. Then they can make an easy selection of these offers for their researchers. This Author Referal process gives libraries full control over the publishing offers their researchers can select. Thus, KU Open Funding has a streamlined process for researcher approval. Additionally, the BPC payment process through deposit „pledging“ is easy and hassle-free. Institutions view an overview of payments and funding on the platform interface. It is also possible to split invoices for departments within the institution. Researchers can filter through a diverse list of OA publishing offers from a large variety of publishers with different backgrounds and specializations. The platform has an effective and adjustable search function with standardized filters: e.g. License, Subject, Included services, etc., enabling the researcher to find a fitting offer. Find Out More

5 KU Partners

Knowledge Unlatched works together with partners to make Open Ac- cess (OA) increasingly present in the scholarly community and beyond! Using our expertise in OA funding we promote OA projects in a wide variety of disciplines and languages. We partnered together with publishers to create valuable Open Access collections interesting for libraries and researchers. Libraries can fund individual projects and contribute to the Open Access transition in a specific field or language, making an impact on our common effort to have scholarly content freely available for all.

We believe: Cooperation is key to making Open Access work! Peter Lang IT Law Advancing Open Access in IT Law (German)

While the number of online publications of scholarly works within the field of Law is increasing, the number of Open Access publications have always been relatively low compared to other subjects. Books on legal aspects of all kinds of topics concerning digitalization are on the rise throughout all Peter Lang‘s series in Law. Especially in areas like artificial intelligence, blockchain, robotic cars, cryptocurrencies, crypto investments, smart contracts, and legal aspects of neuromarketing. There is even more to be expected within the next 3 years. The Cooperative Model

Peter Lang will make 30 frontlist titles in IT Law (German language) available Open Access over 3 years. The KU library crowdfunding model will be used to collect library support for a three-year period. Peter Lang already showed its commitment by releasing 5 backlist titles in 2018, free of charge to libraries. The 10 new monographs per year will be selected by a specialized review board including people like: • Prof. Dr. Thomas Hoeren, Law professor and a former Court of Appeal Judge (Universität Münster) • Prof. Dr. Georgios Gounalakis, Professor of Civil Law, Private International Law, Comparative Law and Me- dia Law (Philipps-Universität Marburg) Benefits for Libraries

Supporting institutions contribute to supporting Open Access in German IT Law and overcoming the reserva- tions against Open Access publishing in the Law discipline. The end result will be 35 German language titles in IT Law openly available to everyone. Pricing Structure

Price per year over a period of 3 years. (Price excl. VAT) Pledging for this collection is possible until the 30th of April 2019 The price per institution will decrease according to the number of participants.

10 OpenEdition Books Select The First Institutionally-Funded OA Initiative for French-language Content

OpenEdition Books Select is the first program for Open Access development in French-language scientific publishing that focusses on institutional funding. In this program libraries can contribute to making high-quality French-language content, provided by key academic publishers in the Humanities and Social Sciences, available Open Access. The program is led by OpenEdition, the French non-profit initiative promoting innovative and fair OA models, designed in cooperation with the french library consortium Couperin, and supported by the main French research institutions. The Cooperative Model

Together with OpenEdition we have designed a transparent and sustainable model that meets the needs of the scientific community while promoting bibliodiversity and multilingualism. Bibliodiversity and multilingualism are at the heart of OpenEdition’s strategy, which is why a multilingual approach in academic publishing should be encouraged in the international context. The model lets libraries share the costs for making 30 titles Open Access, while authors can more easily and widely disseminate their findings. As a result, readers from all over the world can freely access multidiscipli- nary, peer-reviewed French-language content in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Benefits for Libraries

OpenEdition Books Select allows libraries to directly support Open Access in French-language scientific publishing. It is done so with an ethical approach and at reasonable, transparent costs, shared by the library community. This means a lower price per title compared to the conventional way of acquisition. The result will be an OA colllection of 30 books, of which 10 frontlist titles and 20 backlist titles. Pricing Structure

125 slots available for libraries and institutions (Price excl. VAT) Pledging for this collection is possible until the 30th of April 2019
