Quartz Open Access

Quartz OA is the cooperative route to fair, sustainable and independent open access academic publishing.
 

This crowdfunding infrastructure is one of our first steps on the journey to developing an ecosystem enabling exchanges of services and contributions – both financial and in-kind – between the journals and publishers, individual academics, and institutions/libraries. It is part of our pilot which aims at testing our technology and bootstrapping a supportive community around independent open access publishers.

Through open collective, we are acting as an umbrella organisation to help channel funding to independent scholar-led publishing initiatives. Since quite a few of these are either unsure about their legal status or are not registered as legal entities, this mechanism will facilitate their funding helping them avoid the administrative hustle.
