Description
Poster presented at the UKSG 49th Annual Conference and Exhibition: Glasgow (Monday 30 March to Wednesday 1 April 2026).
With open access quickly becoming the standard mode of publishing scholarly publications, including monographs and edited collections, the integration of fully open and high-quality metadata into book production workflows, library cataloging systems, and long-term preservation solutions is gaining importance and urgency.
The poster showcased the metadata workflows of a variety of small and medium-sized scholar-led and university and library publishers from across the globe through the usage of Thoth Open Metadata, a non-profit open source platform providing innovative metadata management, hosting, and distribution solutions tailored to tackle the problem(s) of getting Open Access works into the wider book supply chain, ensuring their long-term sustainability.
