DOAB is a discovery service for peer reviewed open access
books and book publishers that indexes and provides access to high quality,
open access, peer-reviewed books. The primary aim of DOAB is to increase
discoverability of open access books. Academic publishers are invited to
provide metadata of their open access books to DOAB. DOAB is an open
infrastructure committed to open science. The directory is open to all
publishers who publish academic, peer reviewed books in open access and should
contain as many books as possible, provided that these publications are in open
access and meet academic standards.
The Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) was established by
OAPEN Foundation in 2012, in close cooperation with the Directory of Open
Access Journals (DOAJ) & SemperTool.
