Advancing Long-form Open Access Practice
**RLUK in partnership with SCONUL and ARMA and with funding from UKRI** seeks to articulate the current challenges and opportunities that UK research institutions face in responding to the evolving OA long-form publishing landscape. The **goal** of the first work package of this project, commissioned from Information Power, is _to deliver a report and roadmap to show where we are with long-form OA, share what has been learned, and to provide clarity and direction for where UK research organisations – in partnership with stakeholders with whom they want to travel – are going_. To become active in an **Exchange of Experience Network** and the project, please register your interest via https://forms.gle/Xyhk6GvzF9YRZoza7. With the wider project ARMA, RLUK, and SCONUL have come together to enable a more coordinated and strategic approach in the transition to OA long-form publications. This project is a collective intervention to support UK research organisations in implementing OA: to reduce duplication, improve readiness, and support institutions ahead of likely future policy requirements.
