PALOMERA Deliverable 3.1 – Report on Analysis Findings

This report describes the work of WP3 (Analysing the Knowledge Base), which builds upon and extends the work of WP2 (Building the Knowledge Base). The primary objective of WP3 was to analyse the various data collected earlier in the project in order to gain insights into the current status of open access book policies in the European Research Area. The analysis findings documented in this deliverable serve as the foundation for WP4 (Recommendations and Resources), where actionable recommendations are provided for different stakeholder groups. In this report as well as throughout the project, academic books are defined as scholarly, peer-reviewed, books including monographs, book chapters, edited collections, critical editions, and other long-form scholarly works unless otherwise noted.
