OAPEN offers a wide range of expertise, services and well-curated academic content aimed at librarians, publishers, researchers, and funders. OAPEN promotes and supports the transition to open access for academic books by providing open infrastructure services to stakeholders in scholarly communication. OAPEN works with publishers to build a quality-controlled collection of open access books and provide services for publishers, libraries, and research funders in the areas of hosting, deposit, quality assurance, dissemination, and digital preservation.

The DOAB (Directory of Open Access Books) is a community-driven discovery service that indexes and provides access to scholarly, peer-reviewed open access books and helps users to find trusted open access book publishers. All DOAB services are free of charge and all data is freely available.

Both initiatives are of relevance for the communities around the NFDI consortia of the MoU group: NFDI4Culture, Text+, NFDI4Memory, and NFDI4Objects.
