Radical Open Access Collective
Formed in 2015, the Radical Open Access Collective is a community of scholar-led, not-for-profit presses, journals and other open access projects. Now consisting of more than 70 members, we promote a progressive vision for open publishing in the humanities and social sciences.
Library Publishing Community
There is an active national and global Library and scholarly community engaged in Open Publishing activity. In Ireland, the Library Association of Ireland’s Library Publishing Group and Irish Open Access Publishers promote this activity. Internationally, the IFLA Library Publishing Special Interest Group and Library Publishing Coalition are two of several agencies active in this space.
The Educopia Institute and the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC), in partnership with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), NASIG, and BlueSky to BluePrint, offer the “Library Publishing Curriculum,” a suite of synchronous and asynchronous professional development offerings for librarians that are open and free under a CC-BY license for anyone to offer or adapt.
LAI Library Publishing Group
The Library Publishing Group of the Library Association of Ireland (LAI) supports all types of library publishing initiatives across the sector.

Library Publishing Curriculum

Fully Open Access Publishers Group
The Fully OA blog was born out of the OASPA Interest Group of Fully OA journal organizations. The purpose of the group is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas and, where appropriate, collaboration amongst publishers that only publish Open Access. The aim of the group is to provide unity, not by creating a single voice, but by bringing together a diversity of different voices and perspectives that share one commitment: full Open Access.
