Below is an extended version of a piece first published on the UWE Bristol Library Research Blog. It explores issues around publishing academic articles and books, different open access arrangements, maintaining academic standards and the profit levels of academic publishers.
In short, in terms of journal articles, UK universities, including UWE, have open access arrangements with academic publishers. These agreements reduce or remove Article Processing Charges (APCs) for authors. While this might sound like a universally good thing, authors still need to carefully consider the quality of the publication process before choosing an outlet for their work. Growing numbers suggest: i. being wary of MDPI, Frontiers and others in term of standards, while also ii. being aware of even more established publishers in terms of their profit margins.
In terms of academic book publishing, we explore the #ebookSOS campaign – another issue questioning the charges levied by publishers. We also provide some pointers towards the growing number of truly open access routes for academic chapters and books (no charges for authors or readers of digital versions).
