Academic publisher Cambridge University Press has announced its support for the Academic Book Week 2017 for the second year running, with a focus on championing innovation in publishing.
To celebrate, Cambridge will be making twenty of their most innovative books, as chosen by editors, available freely online throughout the week. Each title has been selected on the basis of its impact in its field or as an example of ingenuity in publishing, and all the selected titles have won a major award in the last two years.
Cambridge will be taking part in the Academic Book Week flagship event at the British Library on Wednesday 25th January, with a panel session at 2pm on Insight and Innovation in Publishing. The panel will examine case studies including Cambridge Core, the Press's major new academic content platform, and The Nine Dots Prize, a major new award in the social sciences.
In conversation will be Nisha Doshi, Digital Development Publisher, Vicky Drummond, Head of User Experience and Platform, and Professor Simon Goldhill, Director of CRASSH (The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Science and Humanities at Cambridge University) and Chairman of the Nine Dots Prize. This promises to be a fun and informative session, focused on finding solutions to develop new publishing initiatives and meet the challenges of an ever-changing marketplace.
