A successful transition to open access (OA) is one where everyone can read and reuse scholarly work, and everyone can publish OA. OASPA’s recommendations are made on this basis. This work is a practical listing of suggestions for publishing organisations, and also for those who purchase, pay for, or invest in scholarly publishing. Coverage focuses on reducing inequity by addressing financial and workflow barriers impeding OA publishing. There are five headline goals, details under each goal, and a definitions section. The work also carries links, throughout, to real-life examples. These are recommendations, driven by community inputs and open consultation, and offered as a toolkit of suggestions and ideas to support OA, and the transition to OA, in ways that include the work of all scholars. This is important because OA publishing is about disseminating the work of people - not nations, not institutions, not organisations, but individual researchers and author-groups.
