ABSTRACT
Helsinki University Press is a startup open access (OA) university press. It is owned by the University of Helsinki (UH), and the management of the publisher’s operations is shared between the Helsinki University Library (helsinki.fi/kirjasto/en/home) and Gaudeamus (gaudeamus.fi/in-english), a publishing house for non-fiction literature in Finnish. HUP plans to publish its first books in 2019. In its startup phase, HUP is funded by the University of Helsinki and it is not charging any processing fees. HUP is currently conducting talks with other universities and funders to investigate a consortium model that will allow it to cover the publishing costs centrally, rather than charging processing fees to individual authors. Currently, HUP has three staff members and an academic advisory board.| Keywords | open access publishing · open access university press |
