CEU Press has been running the Opening the Future OA monograph funding model for over three years. During that time, we have been able to publish 28 new OA frontlist titles solely through the support of our library members, of which the details are available below. We are grateful to all our library supporter members for enabling this. We have several more titles forthcoming, confirmed as funded via OtF, details below.
As this model works differently to many subscription/collective monograph funding models, there is no in-built threshold: instead frontlist titles are opened up as soon as the funds become available. Every single subscription counts towards enabling the publication of a forthcoming book as OA.
OA books we’ve already published or that are in the OtF pipeline
These books are all listed on DOAB and are freely available to download from OAPEN, Project Muse, the ORL, and JSTOR, as well as via De Gruyter, ProQuest, EBSCO, and other partners.
