Open Research Conversation: Open Access Monographs, White Rose University Press and the Sheffield Thesis Publishing Prize
Recording of the following session, part of the 'Open Research Conversations' seminar series at the University of Sheffield (organised by the University Library, Scholarly Communications Team):
Open Research Conversation: Open Access Monographs, White Rose University Press and the Sheffield Thesis Publishing Prize
This Open Research Conversation will celebrate the inaugural University of Sheffield Thesis Publishing Prize, held in partnership with White Rose University Press. Applicants to the Publishing Prize submitted proposals for how they would turn their theses into an open access monograph, and five of these have been taken forward for consideration by White Rose University Press with all open access charges covered if commissioned, as well as receiving £250 in prize money. In this session, we will hear from Press Manager, Kate Petherbridge and showcase some of the prizewinning work. We will also highlight the Library’s Institutional Open Access Fund, created to support TUoS staff and PGRs in publishing monographs, book chapters and edited collections with open access publishers.
