I do not know the exact details about their peer review process but I
know that they offer p.r., if the authors of a submitted volume request
it, because I recently reviewed a book for them. They also allow for
open peer review, if both the authors and the reviewers approve of this
mode. In the case of our collected volume we took care of the double
blind peer review process for the individual articles ourselves.
If you have further questions please simply get in touch with them. In
my experience, they are quite ready to help.
Best,
Vitus

Indeed interesting. Just curious to know how they "organize peer
review on request"...

We had a very good experience publishing our Puṣpikā volume with
HASP <https://hasp.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/?lang=en>. They are an
open access publisher focusing on Asian studies. They do not
charge OA fees, organize peer review on request, and offer printed
versions as print on demand for a very moderate fee. More details
on their services:
https://hasp.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/publishing/for_authors.
Further fair open access (FOA) options are collected at the FOASAS
website, run by Dominik Haas and myself:
https://foasas.org/#journals. If you know of any other good OA
publishers not yet listed here please get in contact with us.

The Australian National University Press (ANU Press) is a leading
open-access publisher. They don't charge to publish book per se,
but they do require authors to use one of their approved
copy-editors. I have followed this path twice - both for
500-page volumes. The total cost for each volume was about US$4000.
Hope this helps

*Subject:* [INDOLOGY] about Routledge and Open Access fees
Dear colleagues,
For several years now I have observed colleagues publishing their
monographs or edited volumes with Routledge, asking myself why
any colleague should wish to entrust such a ruthlessly
profit-oriented enterprise with their scholarly work, while there
are more sympathetic commercial publishers not to mention quite a
number of non-commercial publishers willing and able to publish
Indological research.
Anyhow, I wish to report a concrete bad experience. Several
colleagues participating in the ERC project DHARMA have
contributed to a volume published earlier this year in the
Routledge Worlds series. Since the ERC requires research produced
thanks to its funding to appear in Open Access, it seemed
necessary to us to accept paying the publisher's Open Access fees
in order to ensure that the contributions by said colleagues
would appear in Open Access. My employer has paid £3.750,00
funding to the publisher late last year as "Fees for making three
chapters Open Access in the book The Angkorian
World." See the attachment. From the budget of the ERC project
Archaeospace, initiated by my colleague Damian Evans
(incidentally, one of the editors of the volume), we paid the
same sum once more for three other chapters, though I was not
involved in that decision. The book was published on 28 April
(https://www.routledge.com/The-Angkorian-World/Hendrickson-Stark-Evans/p/book/9780815355953)
and yet not a single chapter has so far been made available in
Open Access by the publisher. They would seem to have taken
European tax payers' money and run with it.
Yesterday one of the editors wrote to me: "I received word from
Routledge that they are working on making the six chapters open
access. I am not sure why this is taking so long but it is pretty
much par for the course with this publishing house. Avoid them in
the future is my advice." I could not agree more with this advice.
Best wishes,
Arlo Griffiths

The Angkorian World
<https://www.routledge.com/The-Angkorian-World/Hendrickson-Stark-Evans/p/book/9780815355953>
The Angkorian World explores the history of Southeast Asia’s
largest ancient state from the first to mid-second millennium CE.
Chapters by leading scholars combine evidence from archaeology,
texts, and the natural sciences to introduce the Angkorian state,
describe its structure, and explain its persistence over more
than six centuries. Comprehensive and accessible, this book will
be an indispensable resource for anyone studying premodern Asia.
