Gold Open Access Book Publishing
Gold OA books are best suited for editors who are looking for all the benefits - for themselves, their contributing authors, and the research community, that reside with OA publishing (the full and free access of the content by researchers worldwide), without having the challenge of finding full OA funding for the book themselves (an amount that can start at around $15,000 USD).
Gold OA publishing model takes a crowdfunding approach, where the contributing article authors can incrementally support the open access for the book by covering the open access fee for their own respective chapters, which means paying a low open access Chapter Processing Charge (CPC) (only if the chapter is formally accepted by the editor following the completion of the double-blind peer review process).
