<h1>Scaling Small</h1>

ScholarLed is a consortium of scholar-led, not-for-profit, open access book publishers that was formed in 2018.

We want to make sure that change is for the better.

We asked ourselves: how can we ‘scale’ the work we do as presses, while preserving the advantages of being small, academic-led publishers with distinct identities and priorities? Instead of aiming to fit within the current infrastructures, processes, and priorities of a publishing system that tends to serve larger (often commercial) presses, we want to establish collaborative modes of working and to build infrastructures that will support the work of publishers like ours, in order to enable more such presses to grow and flourish.

We have established a <a href="https://www.oapen.org/topic/15632108-scholarled" target="_blank">ScholarLed catalogue</a> on OAPEN, which includes the hundreds of open access books published by our presses. We have developed a <a href="https://github.com/ScholarLed/bookstand" target="_blank">lightweight bookstand</a>, which each publisher possesses, allowing us to showcase the output of the whole consortium at conferences and events. (The design and instructions to create your own version of the bookstand, as well as the source code of our website, are freely available for other presses to use <a href="#more">here on our website</a>.) We are also key partners in the international <a href="#infrastructure">COPIM project</a>, building community-owned, open systems and infrastructures to enable open access book publishing to flourish. Finally, we are exploring how ScholarLed can organise ourselves more formally as an entity, and how we might be able to support more academic-led presses in a direct way, perhaps by taking on new members (for more on this, see Parts <a href="https://www.oapen.org/blog/?link=https%3A%2F%2Foapen.hypotheses.org%2F93" target="_blank">One</a> and <a href="https://oapen.org/blog/?link=https%3A%2F%2Foapen.hypotheses.org%2F99" target="_blank">Two</a> of our roundtable blog post with our friends at OAPEN).
