      I’ve started putting together a list of chapter processing charges – and I’d be happy to share this once I’ve got a reasonable number. However, I suspect I’m reinventing the wheel here, does anyone know of any public lists of CPC charges?

      I guess Sherpa for Books will eventually have this info? It’s in beta right now and with only a few publishers on, but I believe the idea is for Jisc to expand it as soon as they can: https://beta.sherpa.ac.uk/oa-books

      Worth also checking Holly Limbert & Dan De Santo’s dashboard which is also collating this kind of info (along with a lot more info besides)? Open Book Environment (OBE) dashboard: https://lnkd.in/es5JMcXA

      Many thanks, both those links were very useful.

      I have added a rough spreadsheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wha3E7sCdJ_KhdQkM3O1_avIBshE6arJqd_TPQAR81c/edit?usp=sharing

      Thanks for sharing this, David, very useful. Is there any way people can contribute to it or send updates? Also, would it be useful to add presses that don’t charge CPCs, for awareness-raising?

      Hi Lucy – yes, that’s a good idea. This link should work for editing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wha3E7sCdJ_KhdQkM3O1_avIBshE6arJqd_TPQAR81c/edit?usp=sharing

       

      It is also a good idea to add presses that don’t chage CPCs, I’ll continue to add to and update this spreadhseet (and welcome others who wish to do so).
