The Open Access Network (OAN) is made up of committed individuals, organizations, societies, publishers, libraries, and institutions working together to Make Knowledge Public.
Our plan is to tackle head-on the challenge of OA business models beginning with disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The OAN provides a broad and transformative solution for sustainable OA publishing and archiving that is complementary, not competitive, with other OA funding approaches.
The OAN was co-founded by Rebecca Kennison and Lisa Norberg, Principals at K|N Consultants, a US registered not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides strategic and operational guidance to academic institutions, libraries, scholarly societies, and other mission-driven organizations.
