Abstract
The purpose of this article is to outline the origins, current status and future direction of Iberian Books. The core ambition of the project is to create a foundational short title catalogue of all books printed in Spain, Portugal and the New World, or published elsewhere in an Iberian language, between 1472 and 1700. Yet, the project can also be leveraged in other significant ways, not least in terms of data visualization, as well as the creation of a searchable repository of ornamentation and illustration. Combined, these tools offer a powerful resource which enables the study of the structure and character of Iberian print in the Early Modern Age.
Authors who publish in Bibliographica automatically accept the following terms:
a. Authors will keep their authorship rights and will guarantee the journal the first time publication rights of their submitted work, which will be liable to a Creative Commons license that will allow third parties to share their work as long as they give appropriate credit to the author and the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica, it is not used for commercial purposes and modified material is not distributed in case of remix, transformation or recreation.
b. Authors can adopt other non-exclusive distribution license agreements of the published version of the work (for example: deposit it in an institutional telematic archive or publish it in a monographic volume) as long as the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica.
c. Authors are encouraged to self-archive their work (for example: in institutional telematic archives or their website), for this can promote interesting exchanges and increase the citation impact of the published work. (See The effect of open access).
