在人文和社会科学领域，开放获取（OA）图书出版在技术上变得更加可行，在财务上变得更加可取。海德堡大学（University of Heidelberg）在获得开发基于试点系列图书的商业模式的资金后，正在加入这一开发，并建立一个基础设施，以便在校园内出版OA图书。这些新出版机构面临着相当大的挑战。本文认为，建立成功所必需的声望、负担能力和竞争力的最佳策略是合作。在开放获取社区内实现这一目标比在开放获取社区之外扩展合作要容易得多，因为许多机构和个人仍然缺乏关于开放获取的信息，而且往往不相信开放获取的优点。关键在于提供卓越的手稿开发，以振兴最重要的合作：出版商和作者之间的合作。
Open access (OA) book publishing in the humanities and social sciences is becoming technically more feasible and financially more desirable. After securing funding for the development of a business model based on a pilot book series, the University of Heidelberg is joining this development and building an infrastructure to publish OA books on campus. The challenges facing such new publishing outlets are considerable. This article argues that the best strategy to build the prestige, affordability and competitiveness necessary to succeed is collaboration. Accomplishing this within the OA community will prove less difficult than extending collaboration beyond it because many agencies and individuals still lack information about, and are often unconvinced of, the merits of open access. The key lies in offering excellence in manuscript development to revitalize the most important collaboration of all: that between publisher and author.
