SOAS Open Access Week - Setting Scholarship Free: Open Access and the Open Library of Humanities | SOAS, University of London

"This talk will consider the rapidly changing open access (OA) landscape and its impact on academic research. As government and funding council mandates for OA become implemented in various countries around the world, the move to open access is gaining pace - particularly in the humanities disciplines. Dr Caroline Edwards is a Founder and Director of the Open Library of Humanities (OLH), which launched in September 2015 as a publishing platform for 'gold' OA articles, with no author-facing charges. Dr Edwards will outline how the OLH has grown and what it can offer scholars in terms of bring together the best of traditional publishing and editorial practices with cutting-edge technological innovations in digital publishing and infrastructure."
