The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has unveiled a new open access publishing platform in partnership with Ubiquity Press.
LSE Press, managed through the LSE Library, will provide a platform for high quality, open access research in the social sciences; supporting the development of publications that are innovative in terms of format, content and reach.
The Press will be open to all academics and researchers - not just from LSE- who would like to start an open access journal, submit a book proposal or explore other styles of innovative publication.
The new platform aims to open up access to high quality publications in the social sciences, reflecting the reputation of LSE as a global and trusted source of excellent research.
In addition to supporting the set-up of the social science journals and other publications, funding can be made available to LSE researchers.
Also launched is LSE Press’s first open access publication, the Journal of Illicit Economies and Development. Edited by John Collins, the peer-reviewed, electronic journal publishes research and policy commentary on the complex relationship between illicit markets and global development. The journal is cross-disciplinary, engaging with academics, practitioners, and decision-makers.
