In opposition to the dominant strategies of organisational growth for publishers\, which flatten community diversity t hrough economies of scaling ‘up’\, Scaling Small is built on the idea that healthy growth of an ecosystem can be nurtured through intentional co llaborations between community-driven projects. It aims to promote a bibli odiverse ecosystem while providing resilience through sharing of resources and knowledge\, and other kinds of collaboration. This principle has guid ed COPIM’s community-led governance structures and supported its main ou tcomes and objectives focused on building models\, systems\, and platforms to remove the hurdles preventing new and existing open access book initia tives from adopting open access workflows. \n\nIn this talk I will explore how this principle and philosophy has been and is being implemented in pr actice in two outcomes of the COPIM project: the Open Book Collective and the Experimental Publishing Compendium.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/Metagov/248/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
