The Copim community is an international group of researchers, universities, librarians, open access book publishers and infrastructure providers. It is building community-owned, open systems and infrastructures to enable open-access book publishing to flourish. The collaboration is being funded by Research England and Arcadia Fund, via two consecutive projects between November 2019 and April 2026.[2]
The community's name is derived from the original project acronym of COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs). During its first project phase (11/2019-04/2023), the community has been involved in the foundational project of the same name. As of 05/2023, this is now followed by a second project phase under the title of Open Book Futures,[3] through which the Copim community aims to expand and accelerate the uptake of the infrastructures developed during its initial project phase.
Following the principle of 'Scaling Small',[4] the project has developed a set of proof-of-concepts of non-profit and community-owned, open infrastructures to enable open access book publishing to prosper.[5]
Copim has been named as a Supporting Action[6] in UKRI's 2020 Open Access Review Consultation.[7]
