Description

Presentation delivered to a MetaGovernance Seminar on 26 March 2025 (16:00-17:00) called: Learnings from COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs). MetaGovernance is a seminar series intended for researchers and practitioners in online governance, broadly defined, and invites individuals working in online governance to present their work to a community of other researchers and practitioners. 

The talk explored how COPIM's 'Scaling Small' philosophy or organisational principle (see e.g. Adema and Moore, 2021) has been and is being implemented in practice in two outcomes of the COPIM project: the Open Book Collective and the Experimental Publishing Compendium. A recording of the seminar is available on Internet Archive.
