UCL Press: a new model for open access university presses
نویسنده
چکیده
UCL Press was relaunched at UCL in June 2015, as the UK’s first fully open access university press. It publishes scholarly monographs, textbooks, edited collections, scholarly editions and journals. All publications are made freely available online in open access form and print books are also sold via retailers at an affordable price. UCL authors are funded to publish open access with the Press. This article describes its activities in more detail and offers the model as one that other institutions can follow.
