COPIM is an international project supported by Research England's Development (RED) Fund, and Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin. Following the principle of 'Scaling Small', the project is building not-for-profit community-owned, open infrastructures to enable open access book publishing to prosper. The project's Open Documentation site is available at: https://copim.pubpub.org/ The presentation will provide a brief overview of the COPIM project & consortium, with a particular focus on the project's Work Packages 5, 6, and 7. Under the name of Thoth, WP 5 is developing an Open Metadata and Dissemination System for Open Access books that implements truly open (CC0-licensed) and FAIR book metadata, and enables presses to efficiently manage their metadata creation and dissemination workflows. WP 6 works to explore and showcase existing open source platforms, tools, and workflows for experimental book publishing in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The WP is running experimental pilot cases with OA publishers (see the WP's blog posts for more details) to map out and document their publishing workflows, and has recently published two major Research and Scoping Reports on Exploring Experimental Publishing, and Strategies for Publishers and Authors to promote and foster interactions, remix and reuse with OA books. WP7 is looking into issues of archiving and preservation of OA books, and seeks to develop technical methods for effectively archiving complex digital research publications, while also compiling recommendations for best practice around legal and copyright issues that complicate effective archiving such complex digital research publications.
