On average, our OA books reach 61% more countries than non-OA books, with most of the additional countries being amongst those classed as LIC and LMIC by the World Class Bank. In addition to enhancing usage in countries underrepresented in global scholarship, OA also enhances the global usage of scholarship about underrepresented countries.1

We are proud to work with Springer to publish our open access IEA Research for Education series. The partnership has helped us to disseminate our research insights to new audiences while also providing a valuable opportunity for authors to analyze study results in more detail. IEA has always been committed to making the results and in-depth analyses of our comparative research projects freely available, something which is even more important now in the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and particularly SDG4 of making quality evidence available to all. We are delighted to work with such a respected and highly regarded partner who shares our commitment to promoting open access publications. Working with the Springer team is a pleasure and we have gratefully benefited from their expert advice and guidance.
