Open Library of Humanities
The Open Library of Humanities is a non-profit open access publisher for the humanities and social sciences.[1][2] It is modeled on the Public Library of Science but not directly affiliated with it.[1]
The Open Library of Humanities will use a library partnership subsidy model to cover costs.[3] It has a number of advisory committees, such as the Academic Steering & Advocacy Committee which includes PLOS co-founder Michael Eisen,[2] Quebec-based academic Jean-Claude Guédon, and the Director of Scholarly Communication of the Modern Language Association, Kathleen Fitzpatrick.[4] There is an Internationalisation committee to develop an international strategy.[5] A member of this committee, Dr. Francisco Osorio, has written that the open access model of the Open Library of Humanities may be beneficial for researchers publishing in languages other than English.[6]
The technical platform will be based on Open Journal Systems and will use an XML-first publication environment.[7] The University of Lincoln, in partnership with the Public Knowledge Project, has offered a funded place for an MSc by Research in Computer Science in order to develop an open-source typesetting tool as proposed by the Open Library of Humanities technical roadmap.[8]
