Carnegie Mellon has joined the Open Library of Humanities’ Library Partnership Subsidy system. The Open Library of Humanities is an academic-led, gold open-access publisher with no author-facing charges. With initial funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the platform covers its costs by payments from an international library consortium, rather than any kind of author fee.
“In recent years we have seen great support for open access from all parts of the disciplinary spectrum. The Open Library of Humanities offers an academically rigorous approach for humanities scholars seeking an appropriate and open outlet for their work,” said Dean of Libraries Keith Webster.
“If the academic community is to drive sustainable change in scholarly publishing, it is important for major research universities to lend whatever support is possible. With this in mind, I am delighted that Carnegie Mellon University has joined the OLH membership model. We look forward to participating in this important international venture,” Webster said.
