# PALOMERA Recommendations for Open Access Academic Book Policies

The [PALOMERA project](https://operas-eu.org/projects/palomera/), which ended in early 2025, aimed to ensure academic books and monographs are not neglected in Open Science and Open Access policies. One of the main project outputs was a [Knowledge Base](https://knowledgebase.oabooks-toolkit.org/communities/) of relevant funder policies from within the European Research Area (ERA).

Subsequently, PALOMERA also created a set of [actionable guidelines](https://operas-eu.org/projects/palomera/results/recommendations-for-open-access-academic-book-policies/) to support and coordinate funder and institutional policies for OA books, with the goal of speeding up the transition to OA for books in particular.
