Discover Open Access Books Funded by SCOAP3
We are proud to work with SCOAP3 to make monographs in particle physics and related subjects open access. Based at CERN, SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics) is a partnership of over three thousand libraries, funding agencies and research centres which supports researchers in high-energy physics to make their work OA.
During the pilot phase of SCOAP3 for Books 19 T&F monographs were funded to become open access. The pilot phase has demonstrated the power of open access to help authors boost the readership and reach of their books. The average annual usage of the 19 Taylor & Francis titles in the pilot leapt by over 3,000% for 2021 and 2022, compared with the usage in the three years before they were converted to OA. Open access also made these titles available in regions where library budgets are limited, resulting in a five-fold increase in the average number of countries accessing the content.
Taylor & Francis will continue to be part of SCOAP3 for Books, as the scheme moves from its pilot phase to an ongoing program of making new eBook releases available to everyone.
All SCOAP3 funded titles are free to read online, simply click on the book jackets to view more information about the title then follow the link to TaylorFrancis.com to read the full text.

About The SCOAP3 for Books Initiative
The SCOAP3 for Books initiative is a pilot that the SCOAP3 Governing Council (GC) has established at its May 2019 meeting to leverage the strong network of the Collaboration and the relationships with scholarly publishing to transition key textbooks and monographs in particle physics and neighboring fields to open access.
