We are excited to announce our final end-of-project conference

which will be taking place online on April 20 & 21, 2023.

The Scaling Small philosophy is an intentional alternative to large-scale, commercial approaches to academic publishing. In addition to creating the community-led governance structures, archiving and preservation best practices, experimental book pilots and resources to support this, Scaling Small comes to the fore very clearly in 3 of COPIM’s main outputs: the Open Book Collective (OBC); ‘Opening the Future’ (OtF); and Thoth. As COPIM concludes, we hope to discuss and extend the organisational principle of Scaling Small in several ways, and with a variety of collaborators, while also thinking ahead about next steps.
