Introduction

The Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) was established by the OAPEN Foundation in 2012. DOAB is a community-driven discovery service that indexes and provides access to scholarly, peer-reviewed open access books and helps users to find trusted open access book publishers. The progress of OAPEN and DOAB has been documented in annual reports.

OAPEN and DOAB Highlights 2025

The year 2025 was very eventful for OAPEN and DOAB, and it is with great pleasure that we can reflect on the year that has passed. It’s impossible to capture everything that has taken place − particularly the many efforts behind the scenes that make our work possible − but we hope in these 2025 Highlights you’ll get a flavour of our shared commitment to open access (OA) that continues to drive both organisations forward. Find out more in the 2025 Highlights.
