IntechOpen Among First Publishers to Go Live with OA Switchboard Books Solution

16 October 2025

We are proud to announce that IntechOpen is among the first three publishers, alongside Cambridge University Press and University of Michigan Press, to go live with the OA Switchboard Books Solution.

Following the successful 2023–2024 OA Books pilot, the OA Switchboard Books Solution provides a standardised and automated way for publishers to notify research funders and institutions when a book or chapter authored by their grantees or researchers is published. This development marks a significant step toward a comprehensive solution designed to improve workflows, increase the visibility of publications, support book policies, and enable integration with the wider research and publishing ecosystem.

As a pioneer in open access publishing, we are pleased to participate in the OA Switchboard Books Solution, supporting initiatives that bring greater transparency, efficiency, and collaboration to the scholarly communication landscape.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with OA Switchboard and its community to further support open access books.
