Representing their community of scholarly publishers and related organisations, OASPA works to support the transition to a world in which open access becomes the predominant model of publication for scholarly outputs.

They are committed to their mission of developing and disseminating publishing solutions that advance open access, preserve the integrity of scholarship, and promote best practice. They help to ensure a diverse, vibrant, and healthy open access market that supports a wide variety of innovative solutions and business models.

All their members undergo a strict initial review procedure and must then continue to exemplify high standards to remain part of OASPA. Having this core evaluation process ensures that they only represent organisations who share their dedication to maintaining best practices in OA publishing globally.
