English abstract

The main characteristic of academic monographs or books is that they present a complete and sustained argument on a research question; being for a long time the basis for academic publication, and despite the appearance of new formats, the book continues to be vital in the processes of learning and scientific communication especially in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities. In the last two decades there have been crucial changes such as the increase of open access initiatives around the world, this movement affected mainly the journal format, although in the last years, researchers and university publishers are exploring what it means to publish an open access book, ensuring at the same time that the book continues to fulfill its purpose. Open access is understood as the free, immediate and online availability of research and knowledge products. This includes some rights that allow others to reuse the research for non-commercial educational purposes. Unlike journals, e-books have not succeeded in realizing a single model of open access publishing. The financing of these projects usually entails a higher cost, which makes it complex to have a valid model for all publishing services. At present, there are different business models for OA books

Spanish abstract

La principal característica de las monografías o los libros académicos es que presentan un argumento completo y sostenido sobre una cuestión de investigación; siendo durante mucho tiempo de base a la publicación académica, y a pesar de la aparición nuevos formatos, el libro sigue siendo vital en los procesos de aprendizaje y comunicación científica especialmente en el ámbito de las Ciencias Sociales y las Humanidades. En las dos últimas décadas se han producido cambios cruciales como el aumento de las iniciativas de acceso abierto en todo el mundo, este movimiento afectó principalmente al formato revista, si bien en los últimos años, investigadores y editoriales universitarias están explorando lo que significa publicar un libro de acceso abierto, asegurando al mismo tiempo que el libro siga cumpliendo su propósito. Se entiende por acceso abierto la disponibilidad gratuita, inmediata y en línea de los productos de la investigación y del conocimiento. Lo que incluye algunos derechos que permiten a otros reutilizar la investigación con fines educativos no comerciales. Al contrario de lo que ocurre con las revistas, los libros electrónicos no han logrado concretar un modelo único de publicación en acceso abierto. La financiación de estos proyectos normalmente conlleva un coste más alto, lo que complejiza disponer de un modelo válido para todos los servicios de edición. En el momento actual se dan diferentes modelos de negocio de libros OA
