Interested in open access monographs?

05 Feb 2013

The University of Manchester Library and Manchester University Press are discussing ways in which to support researchers most effectively as publication in open access form increases in importance.

At this stage we invite expressions of interest in potential projects to develop open access monograph publishing services.

The case for such an approach is that open access in digital form increases visibility, readership and impact in a time of falling monograph sales, whilst still providing print on demand where required.

If you are interested in working with us, please send an email by the end of February to:
