Celebrating Open Access

Open Access Week is running from 24–30 October this year. To celebrate, we’ve pulled together some links to our open access content for you. So far, Edinburgh University Press has published 5 open access books, 12 open access chapters, 1 open access journal and a further 22 open access articles from across 9 journals. We think it’s a fine selection of top-class scholarship.

Of course, since it’s open access, you can download any or all of this scholarship for free, and not just during Open Access Week. Happy days. Just follow the links below to get started.
