# The ScholarLed Consortium

The ScholarLed consortium is made up of scholar-led, not-for-profit, open access publishers. It was founded in 2018 and sought ways for small-scale, scholar-led presses to grow and flourish together, by finding co-operative systems and practices to work together. It is therefore a proponent of the concept of '[scaling small](https://www.westminsterpapers.org/article/id/918/)'. It was a key and foundational partner in the COPIM project which began in 2019, and is currently listed as a [package](https://openbookcollective.org/view/collections/2/) on the Open Book Collective. It continues to hold salons and other events and is open to new members.
