However what is less well know is for monographs or sections in a published book to be similarly OA.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217; s a number of reasons for this &#8211; books are more expensive to produce and rely on sales to cover the costs of production (authors rarely get paid for the academic books they publish or appear in) and so making them freely available for anyone to download like a journal article is counter intuitive for most publishers. However, there are some\u00a0instances\u00a0where this isn&#8217;t the case.<\/p>\n<p>Funders of research such as the Wellcome Trust require that the research they fund is made Open Access &#8211; including books and monographs &#8211; read our blog post about it <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/library\/2014\/10\/01\/update-wellcome-trust-open-access-policy-monographs-book-chapters\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0and see an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK305515\/\">example<\/a> of one here co-edited by School Professors\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lshtm.ac.uk\/aboutus\/people\/smith.peter\">Peter G. Smith<\/a> and\u00a0David A. Ross. Some\u00a0publishers have a policy that allows\u00a0authors to\u00a0self-archive a\u00a0chapter or section from it &#8211; either a final draft copy or the published version. Either in an institutional research repository such as LSHTM Research Online or their own webpages thereby\u00a0making it Open Access. Major academic publishing firms such as Oxford University Press, Wiley,\u00a0Palgrave Macmillan and Routledge all have policies\u00a0which allows this. The reasoning behind this seems to be that it&#8217;s a way for publishers to promote the book as a whole. Going futher, tere is gathering\u00a0evidence that books that are made Open Access are not only popular but that they also increase sales of the physical book (8 titles from UCL Press achieved download figures of over 18,000 (as of 1 March 2016) in over 150 countries around the world but that people are returning to buy a physical copy).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/library\/files\/2016\/10\/20161024_1503501.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3006 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/library\/files\/2016\/10\/20161024_1503501.jpg\" alt=\"LSHTM Library bookshelf\" width=\"781\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/library\/files\/2016\/10\/20161024_1503501.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/library\/files\/2016\/10\/20161024_1503501-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/library\/files\/2016\/10\/20161024_1503501-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.lshtm.ac.uk\/library\/files\/2016\/10\/20161024_1503501-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A maintained online\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1-Lq_zzaGqge8SdY1DX-YXTN43JLn75jf2OhidJqXM60\/edit#gid=142126524\">list<\/a> of publishers likely to permit Open Access of book chapters in institutional repositories such as LSHTM Research Online is available to view (and to update) via a Google spreadsheet and we encourage authors and researchers to view this to see if they can self-archive their\u00a0monographs or at least obtain permission to.
