This webinar will discuss the aims and objectives of the toolkit, including a short walkthrough, followed by a panel session featuring members of the Editorial Advisory Board:
Andrew Lockett, Press Manager, Westminster University Press
Kate Petherbridge, White Rose Libraries Executive Manager, White Rose University Press
Lara Speicher, Head of Publishing, UCL Press
Graham Stone, Subject matter expert (OA monographs), Jisc
Alison Welsby, Editorial Director & Senior Commissioning Editor, Liverpool University Press
Sofie Wennstrom, Managing Editor, Stockholm University Press
The session will be Chaired by Eelco Ferwerda, Consultant, formerly of OAPEN/DOAB.
This event will be of interest to university press staff in existing presses, as well as library, academic and senior university staff who are considering setting up their own press. We also hope that the toolkit is transferable to the wider community, e.g., those wishing to set up academic-led publishing and presses that are considering the transition to a fully open access model
