Open Access monograph competition 2025/26
28 Jan 2026
Winners will receive Library funding to make their published monograph Open Access – enter by Friday, 27 February.
Unfunded monograph authors from any faculty have until Friday, 27 February 2026 to enter the Library’s Open Access monograph competition to win Open Access funding.
Authors can enter as long as they will soon be publishing a monograph or have published one on or after 1 January 2025.
Winners will receive funding from the Library to make their monographs Open Access and the Library will arrange this directly with the winners’ publishers.
Authors publishing trade books should check with their publisher before submitting an application as Open Access is often not possible for these kinds of titles.
