SCOAP³ Books

The SCOAP³ for Books initiative is a pilot that the SCOAP³ Governing Council (GC) has established at its May 2019 meeting to leverage the strong network of the Collaboration and the relationships with scholarly publishing to transition key textbooks and monographs in particle physics and neighboring fields to open access. The project was designed and run by a working group comprised of volunteers from among the SCOAP³ partner institutions and concluded with a purchasing recommendation to transform 102 existing books to Open Access. On May 1st 2021 the GC approved the recommendation and the pilot is now in its implementation phase. First books are expected to be transitioned to OA in summer 2021.

List of Books

Below you will find the list of books transitioned to Open Access with a link to the PDF hosted in the SCOAP3 Repository. The books will be also available via the INIS Repository, OAPEN, and on the respective publisher websites. Please note that this list will be continuously expanded as books become available OA
