Open access ebook distribution
Knowledge Unlatched

- BiblioLabs
- JSTOR
- MuseOpen
- Oapen
- Unglue.it
- DOAB
- BASE
- EBSCO Discovery Service and KB
- Ex Libris KB/KW
- Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund Verbundzentrale (GBV)

- Paperhive
- Summon/Alma
Knowledge Unlatched also make EUP open access books available via their Open Research Library – they become publicly available during month of publication or shortly afterwards.

Open access ebook chapters
OA ebook chapters are hosted on the EUP books website and OAPEN, and may be paywalled as part of the full book license with aggregators and other platforms. The full ebook price has been lowered to take account of these chapters.
Print editions of open access books
The print editions of OA ebooks are sold through all the same channels as non-OA print books.
Archiving
Our open access books are archived with Portico and CLOCKSS.
