Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB)

DOAB is a discovery service that indexes and provides access to scholarly, peer-reviewed open access books and helps users to find trusted open access book publishers. It covers all subject areas.

In partnership with OpenEdition, the OAPEN Foundation provides three platforms for libraries and institutions worldwide dedicated to open access books:

• OAPEN Library
• OAPEN open access books toolkit
• Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB).

Both DOAB and OAPEN rely on support from the stakeholders in scholarly communication to sustain their services.

DOAB and OAPEN have been deemed essential open science infrastructure by the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS).
