This presentation will examine the open access landscape
in the humanities and social sciences, providing an overview of the current state of affairs and speculating on what is to come and possible drivers and blockers to growth. Drawing on a range of recent research and surveys, the presentation will consider evolving market and researcher attitudes and opinions. Reviewing growth trends from across the industry, in both journals and monographs, it will examine new entrants, business models and innovations in the sector whilst also comparing and contrasting with OA in STM and
asking why there is still a question mark over OA in HSS.
