02. Key resources and sources
There are number of existing resources that provide insights about how to start and/or run an Open Access publisher, covering different areas of the publishing workflow. As part of our own aim is to provide a 'guide of guides', these resources are summarised below. As we refer to these resources across the Toolkit, we have assigned each a shortened title. In this section, we also describe some additional sources we have used in preparing our own resource.
