De Gruyter’s 'Purchase to Open eBook Pilot' enables participating institutions to grow collections and supports the open access publication of frontlist titles in the fields of Business & Economics, Classical Studies and Linguistics. All titles are in English, and the list is representative of our strong international author and editorial affiliations.
Funding is organized through established library infrastructures. The fee for large tier institutions is €1500 / $2000 per subject package with discounts for medium and small tiers. All participating libraries receive guaranteed perpetual access to the selected packages. The total funding achieved from all participating institutions and consortia globally determines the number of titles published as open access.
Participation is open until 30 September 2022. The publishing window for opening new titles from the frontlist program runs from September 2022 to August 2023. We will confirm the results in September and announce the number of titles to be published as open access with the confirmed title list thereafter.
