for research institutions, libraries and consortia

who want to:

connect with their research and simplify their workflows

​

The OA Switchboard can be used by institutions to enhance their workflows, enable fulfilment of OA publication-level arrangements, make OA publishing highly visible, and more. Participation in the OA Switchboard will lead to enhancements in OA publication metadata and integration with the increasingly complex open access research and publishing ecosystem.

​

As an intermediary, the OA Switchboard simplifies the sharing of information between publishers, institutions and funders, and it provides a safe space for publication metadata.

We currently support two use cases:

1. Reporting Made Easy

2. Matching Publication Costs with Publication Funds

​
