Open Access Week 2017: Helping Researchers Publish in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences

NewSpecial

Join us for the third in our series exploring resources to help with the process of publishing your research - from recording observations to editing to peer review. For the first time, this event focuses exclusively on research in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences subjects.

This session offers the chance to learn about available tools and options in publishing and reviewing, and ask questions of the experts.

Featuring:

• independent and not-for-profit media outlet The Conversation (Gemma Ware)
• searching for a suitable platform, publisher requirements and experiences so far in publishing with Open Humanities Press (James Purdon)
• jargon-free and accessible - high quality peer-reviewed open access publishing with Languages, Society and Policy (Dr Dora Alexopoulou and Dr Lisa-Maria Mueller)
• publishing with Cambridge University Press (Chris Harrison, CUP)
• book processing charges and open access publishing for all with UCL Press (Lara Speicher)

and more.
