Academic Book of the Future
Edited by Samantha J. Rayner and Rebecca Lyons
This dynamic, innovative, evolving and open platform will publish contributions connected to the AHRC/British Library project, The Academic Book of the Future, which has been investigating key aspects of scholarly publishing for the last two years, led by a team of academics from UCL and Kings College London. The platform, which presents the content in the form of a BOOC (Books as Open Online Content), will grow during 2017/18 as more content is created, and will allow different ways to explore and share the ideas and discussions.
Authors from all areas of the academic, publishing, bookselling and library communities discuss aspects of scholarly books and their possible futures: for example, the role of the editor, peer review, academic bookshops and libraries, open access, digital publishing and technology. The content – in a range of peer-reviewed formats including videos, blogs, chapters and reports – presents a fascinating variety of insights into the constantly evolving contexts of the academic book and will be of interest to anyone working in the HE sector and the publishing industry, and, indeed, to anyone interested in how ideas are disseminated to a wider general audience.
Praise for Academic Book of the Future
'[A] rich new source ...For collection development specialists, interested in how our users access and learn about our resources, and what we might be thinking of trying to improve upon, this resource is something I would keep reading, since it will only improve over time. What it offers now is a variety of interesting research in areas we work in.'
