A Conversation with Rupert Gatti and Alessandra Tosi, Co-Founders, Open Book Publishers

Today’s episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Rupert Gatti and Alessandra Tosi, Co-Founders, Open Book Publishers. Alessandra, a literary historian specializing in Russia, and Rupert, an economist, both Cambridge based scholars, founded the biggest independent open access academic book publisher in the UK, Open Book Publishers, in 2008.  In this conversation, Alessandra talks with Michael about frustrations over the limited reach of her own scholarly monographs, and many scholars being excluded in the humanities in Russia over the high cost of scholarly works and high book processing charges with traditional commercial publishers. This is why they founded the open access, non-profit academic press, following the diamond open access model, to service both authors and readers and make research in the humanities and social sciences freely available worldwide.  Rupert says open access is not an end in itself, but part of a larger commitment to open scholarship and knowledge equity.     LinkedIn:   / mupshall     / rupert-gatti-113b3620     / alessandra-tosi-50321020     Keyword #OpenBookPublishers #OpenScholarship #SocialSciences #Humanities #Research #ResearchAccessibility #OpenAccess #DiamondOpenAccess #KnowledgeEquity #Innovation #career #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts
