Annual Reviews announced on June 26 that it has acquired Knowledge Unlatched, formerly part of Wiley Partner Solutions.

As comments from Richard Gallagher, President and Editor-in-Chief of Annual Reviews, suggest, the move appears well aligned with Annual Reviews's commitment to the subscribe-to-open model for its portfolio of academic journals:

“Knowledge Unlatched has played a formative role in showing that open access for books and monographs is possible at scale,” he stated. “We’re excited to build on this legacy. KU will remain at the forefront of open access book publishing, help more journal publishers adopt Subscribe to Open, and take an active role in coordinating and amplifying Diamond Open Access efforts worldwide.”
