Academic publishers
For Publishers who want to support a smooth and compliant author journey and report on OA publication output; as an intermediary, the OA Switchboard simplifies the sharing of information between publishers, institutions, and funders with authoritative, timely, aggregated, and verified publication metadata. This reduces the transactional cost for stakeholders because it is a safe space for publication metadata as a mission-driven, not-for-profit, community-led initiative.
Reporting made easy
Participating publishers send their publication metadata in standardized format to targeted research institutions and funders via OA Switchboard for different purposes.

"Participating in the early development cycles of this important resource helped us to improve the service level we offer institutional customers. Collaborative working with an organisation like the OA Switchboard which listened hard and offered solutions, has produced a great outcome and I’d urged others to sign up. The more who used it, the better a resource it becomes."

"When OASPA set up the project phase to run in 2020, we had a vision of what we wanted to achieve in practical terms and we wanted the process to be a true collaboration between all stakeholders, to develop this as a self-sustaining non-profit organisation, and to always have transparency and community at the heart. To see the numbers of participants steadily growing and to have stayed true to our guiding principles is really an achievement to be proud of."
