This creates sales opportunities in OA platform hosting, funding management, and partnerships with libraries and universities seeking wider OA distribution.
Educational Tech Ties Strategic partnerships with the Association for Educational Communications and Technologies and OA advances in Educational Technology Research and Development signal strong alignment with academic tech communities. Potential sales plays include providing research analytics tools, digital publishing services, sponsored content opportunities, and licensed access to journals and open resources for universities and ed-tech vendors.
