This month at Ubiquity Press!
1. HIRMEOS Ubiquity Press is taking part in a joint European project called HIRMEOS, to help improve the technical capabilities and services of open access monograph publishing platforms, as part of the European Open Science Cloud. Our role in the project is to provide annotation functionality as well as advanced alt-metrics. The project launched in January and runs for two years, with funding from the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme.
2. Audio Issue - Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture Alongside the University of Westminster Press we are excited to announce the release of our premier audio issue for Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture.
The issue covers the topic of reshaping media and cultural studies for a new era and includes a written editorial and audio content from a stellar line-up of contributors.
3. White Rose University Press With this being the first anniversary of White Rose University Press we are delighted to announce the launch of the Journal of the European Second Language Association (formerly the EuroSLA Yearbook).
The journal aims to showcase the best articles of the annual EuroSLA conference to promote understanding of the use application and understanding of second language learning, with the goal to open up the debate on the societal relevance of multilingual and bilingual individuals in society.
4. Open Library of Humanities In January the Open Library of Humanities launched two new journals:
Marvell Studies publishes the leading edge of research on Andrew Marvell, his texts and readers, words and worlds.
The Journal of Embodied Research is the first peer-reviewed, open access, academic journal to focus specifically on the innovation and dissemination of embodied knowledge through the medium of video. See the journal's launch call for papers here.
5. University of California Press University of California Press launched its second open access journal in January, with Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene transferring from BioOne. The journal publishes original research reporting on new knowledge of the earth's physical, chemical, and biological systems; interactions between human and natural systems; and steps that can be taken to mitigate and adapt to global change. Submissions are now open and the new platform will be publishing soon.
6. Open Quaternary Special Collection The Ubiquity Press journal, Open Quaternary, focusing on the changing environment and the development of humanity within the Quaternary, has completed its first special collection.
The Meta-analyses in Zooarchaeology collection, organised by David Orton and James Morris, is now available online.
