Thrilled to be launching the Black Lives in the Diaspora series with my Columbia and Howard colleagues at the Schomburg in Harlem on Thursday. #academia #HigherEd #BlackMastodon #Columbia #Howard #Universitypress #schomburg https://cup.columbia.edu/series/black-lives-in-the-diaspora-past-present-future

The British Journal of Dermatology just moved from #Wiley to #OUP. As part of the move, it's adding plain language summaries (#PLS) and allowing authors to retain #copyright in their articles.
https://academic.oup.com/bjd/article/188/1/1/6795460

The journal remains #hybrid, not full #openaccess. But note that the key #RightsRetention step was voluntarily adopted by a #society (British Association of Dermatologists) and a #UniversityPress. Kudos to them both.

We're pleased to be part of the team supporting a significant new #OpenAccess pilot from
ITHAKA called #PathtoOpen for thousands of #universitypress monographs through
JSTOR.

Who else is here? #AUPresses #NextUP

@RColesworthy@mastodon. Love this article & happy to see it a gazillion times. Also appreciate your point out that UPs are not ALL subsidized or endowed at similar levels.

University presses each have a distinct funding model and our finances play a big part in the types of risks we can take/the opportunities we can seize/how we weather storms.

And yet we still publish work that changes the world.

All to say support your #UniversityPress #BuyABook #SubscribeToAJournal #UPWeek @bookstodon@a.gup.pe

What other #UniversityPress Mastodon accounts are out there?

Another #UniversityPress has joined #mastodon. Welcome @HopkinsPress.

Greetings! Hopkins Press is excited to join the growing #academicpublishing community here at Mastodon. As we wrap up #UniversityPressWeek, this seems like a fitting moment as we've been thinking about what's #NextUP in #UniversityPress evolution. Toot toot!

Happy #UPWeek!

Today's Association of University Presses blog tour focuses on "What’s #NextUP in publishing?"—Looking forward to new projects, partnerships, platforms, and programs—including our post on the UNC Press Blog unveiling a new UNC Press series, Black Women's History.

I already posted about this elsewhere *wink, wink* but may as well remark on it here, too. I am over the moon to see the fabulousness that is #UniversityPress books acknowledged in the paper of record. But it’s crucial to note that this is not entirely true: “Subsidized by the universities they’re a part of, they can afford to take a chance on the kinds of books that commercial publishers increasingly ignore.” Some of us, alas, are not subsidized—but we make it work! https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/opinion/university-presses-american-literature.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

It's University Press Week this week (among other things). I have books with three different university presses, and I can tell you this: they make #books possible that wouldn't be around otherwise. This is a Good Thing!

#publishing #UniversityPress

"University presses, like other nonprofits and independents, aren’t aiming to produce national best sellers, although sometimes they do just that ... Perhaps the awards keep coming because [they understand that] the same book doesn’t have to matter to everybody, but everybody ought to have access to books that matter."

From an opinion piece in today's NYT by Margaret Renkl
