The Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) has announced the publication of a special open access issue of their journal Learned Publishing. The University Press Redux comprises articles arising from the conference of the same name held in March and hosted by Liverpool University Press.
According to Anthony Cond, Managing Director of LUP and guest editor of the issue, the articles in this issue of Learned Publishing record a specific moment for university press publishing. On one hand is the emergence of a swathe of new university presses probing new opportunities, while on the other established university presses are successfully fulfilling expectations that simultaneously continue to evolve through digital and open access models but in many other instances stay the same.
The issue represents some of the topics discussed by presses large, small, commercial, open access, library-based, UK, US and European at the conference. Articles represent the views of authors, funders, librarians and press publishers.
The University Press Redux: Special issue can be viewed via Wiley Online Library. ALPSP members can access previous issues of the journal by logging on at www.alpsp.org/Member-Access.
