Edinburgh Napier University Library is a member of the Scottish Universities Press consortium.
The Scottish Universities Press (SUP), a newly established open access publisher, will release its first two book titles from October, marking a significant milestone in Scotland's academic publishing landscape.
The Press is committed to advancing open access publishing, making high-quality scholarly research available to a global audience without barriers to knowledge, and increasing the impact of academic work. Nine titles are in the pipeline, and more are expected from the consortium, giving researchers even better opportunities to publish their research.
The first two titles to be released from October 2024 are:
Conversations with Tim Ingold
By Tim Ingold, Robert Gibb, Philip Tonner and Diego Maria Malara
Digital Editing and Publishing in the Twenty-First Century
Edited by James O'Sullivan, Michael Pidd, Michael Kurzmeier, Orla Murphy, Bridgette Wessels and Sophie Whittle
An innovative library-led initiative, SUP is organized by SCURL (Scottish Confederation of University and Research Libraries) and run collaboratively by member libraries on a not-for-profit basis. Gillian Daly, executive officer, SCURL, said: “We are thrilled to announce the publication of our first titles under SUP, marking a significant step in our journey to make high-quality academic research freely accessible to everyone. These inaugural works reflect the diverse strengths of Scottish scholarship, and we are proud to support our universities in sharing their knowledge with the world."
