The Open Access Cooperative (the Cooperative) is a new project, based at Stanford University, designed to help authors, libraries, and scholarly societies transition from subscription-based publishing to open access publishing. The Cooperative develops and tests economic models and software for open access publishing, and is headed by John Willinsky, founder of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), which currently supports over 8,000 open access journals. If successful, this project will enable scholars, scholarly societies, libraries and others to control their works and their collections, and to make them broadly available worldwide at no cost to readers. Grant funds will be used to support software development and economic modeling, and to pilot projects with two or more groups of academic journals, one focused on economics, the other on anthropology.
