Summary:
We are delighted to announce that Scottish Universities Press (SUP) has expanded its scope to include submissions from researchers at all UK higher education institutions.
The Press initially focussed on books by researchers at SCURL member institutions as part of an incremental start-up plan but has quickly moved to scale up following a successful platform launch in October 2024.
SUP is committed to making high-quality scholarly research available to a global audience without barriers and increasing the impact of academic work.
The first title Conversations with Tim Ingold: Anthropology, education and life by Tim Ingold, Robert Gibb, Philip Tonner and Diego Maria Malara, was published on 22 October 2024 during International Open Access Week. 11 more titles are in the pipeline, with the next books coming in early 2025.
Hannah Whaley, Chair of the SUP Board and Director of Library Academic and Cultural Services at the University of Dundee, said, “As the Chair of Scottish Universities Press I am delighted that we are able to reach beyond our own immediate networks and invite submissions from researchers at all UK higher education institutions.”
Proposals for monographs and edited collections are invited from researchers at any UK institution, using the dedicated submission form available at Submit a book proposal. The Press covers all subject areas that receive submissions, and proposals go through a rigorous peer review process in line with international guidelines.
