The International Journal of the Commons is part of the KU Select 2017 Collection which was officially launched on 16th May 2017.
Knowledge Unlatched (KU) connects a global library community of over 450 institutions that crowdfunds the costs to publishing HSS books and journals in Open Access. In KU Select 2017 not only books but also 21 journals participate from a variety of publishers. The journals are a mix of formerly closed and Open Access titles. They have been curated by a Selection Committee consisting of 40 librarians from 12 countries.
“We’re proud to be taking KU to the next level. By including journals in this round for the first time, we are moving KU into another domain, thus making the initiative a truly open access movement across the whole range of content,” says Sven Fund, Managing Director of Knowledge Unlatched.
