Universities and research institutions worldwide are rethinking how knowledge is shared. The growing shift toward Open Access books and textbooks reflects a need for greater reach, equitable access, and long-term impact. Traditional publishing models often limit who can read, teach, or build upon academic work. By adopting Open Access, institutions remove those barriers — enabling students, educators, and researchers everywhere to benefit from freely available, high-quality content.
Knowledge E works with institutions and authors to publish high-quality Open Access titles that meet international standards for editorial quality, digital accessibility and long-term preservation. Our publishing infrastructure and expertise enable each title to achieve maximum visibility, usability and impact.
Open Access Textbooks for Modern Learning
Our Open Access textbook service helps institutions and authors create and share material that anyone can access, use and update. Each chapter receives a DOI for easy citation and long-term visibility, while every title includes complete metadata, an ISBN and individual chapter landing pages in PDF and HTML. The model also allows quick updates, so content stays accurate and relevant as research and teaching needs evolve.
