Open Library of Humanities: a community-grounded approach to academic publishing

 The Open Library of Humanities is a newly-launched project aiming to provide an ethically sound and sustainable open access model for humanities research. By coordinating the discussion and implementation of a community-grounded approach to academic publishing, OLH aims to create an outlet better able to serve academics, libraries, and the wider research community. Co-founder Martin Eve describes the current “ideas phase” of the project and outlines his vision of where it will go from here.  

In the spirit of PLoS, the Open Library of Humanities aims to bring sustainable open access publishing to the humanities.
