  • Summary

  • In this episode of Publish My Book, we explore open-access publishing, a model designed to make publicly funded research freely available to everyone. Unlike traditional publishing, where readers or libraries pay for access, open access requires authors or their institutions to cover upfront fees—often $4,000 to $6,000—to make their books freely accessible. We discuss the benefits of open access, such as broader readership, higher citation rates, and increased impact. We also brought up the challenges, particularly the financial burden, and offer practical tips for authors, including applying for grants, adding open-access fees to funding proposals, and exploring models like Subscribe to Open, where libraries pool resources to support open-access titles.
