Join us today as we raise funds to support open access publishing and expand MITops—our rapid, open, community publishing program
Access to trustworthy information has never been more critical. Donations from supporters and readers like you make it possible for the MIT Press to do our best work. Your support is crucial to our #OpenAccess initiatives, enabling us to publish transformative scholarship openly and sustainably. This work is vital in addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today.
Direct to Open opens access to 80+ peer-reviewed scholarly monographs each year. shift+OPEN actively seeks and transitions high-quality journals to diamond open access. But where our work cuts closest to home is with MIT Open Publishing Services (or MITops because MIT does love its acronyms!).
With MITops, we partner MIT faculty and students to make sure their best work reaches the world, too.
