SCOAP3
| List of e-books |
SCOAP3 is a one-of-its-kind partnership of over three thousand libraries, key funding agencies and research centers in 44 countries and 3 intergovernmental organisations. Working with leading publishers, SCOAP3
- has converted key journals in the field of High-Energy Physics to Open Access (OA),
- is also convertin to Open Access key textbooks and monographs in the field of particle physics and related disciplines.
As one of the partner institutions CTU in Prague has financially supported the transition of selected relevant books to Open Access.
A first purchasing recommendation of 102 existing books was approved in May 2021 and the books are in the process of being transitioned to OA. The list of already transitioned books is on the SCOAP3 website. The list will be continuously expanded as more books become available.
