This presentation shares an update on the Public Knowledge Project’s research into the needs of open publishing programs oriented towards books and other standalone content. It will summarise the findings of the Open Monograph Press (OMP) Under the Spotlight report, including the technical roadmap for OMP, an evaluation of publication type metadata that is informing efforts to better support more formats in scholarly communication, and highlight partnerships advocating for bibliodiversity across the global publishing ecosystem. Finally, it will outline the path forward for further exploration of the unique needs, technical and otherwise, of institutional publishers seeking to support long form content.
