Support OASPA
OASPA has introduced a new supporter category for organisations and individuals who are supportive of OASPA’s mission and open access goals, but do not fit into our membership categories as they are not themselves publishing OA journals or books or directly enabling OA publishing to take place via a service or technology. We know that there is a significant and growing community who support our work and are interested in our events and activities.
OASPA is a small organisation funded solely by membership dues, conference registration funds and event sponsorship. These funds have enabled us to run a broad program of activities, to continue to build our community around open scholarship, to be responsive to community questions and needs, and to focus our efforts on the important work to realise OASPA’s mission. You can read more about our recent activities and our funding in this blog post.
We wish to engage more closely with organisations and individuals doing work that fits with our mission and to work with and learn from each other so have enabled this category to support our work and connect with others working in open scholarship.
Please note that publishers and organisations that enable open access publishing via a service/technology should apply as full members. View our membership benefits here.
