This year OASPA developed a separate membership criteria for open access books following a dedicated session at the Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing in 2012 and subsequent discussions.
Palgrave Macmillan announced at the start of 2013 that they would be offering an open access option across all journal and books via Palgrave Open, with all open access publications to be published with a CC BY license.
We are pleased to also now have University of Adelaide Press as a member, who have recently adopted Creative Commons licensing for their open access book publishing program.
