]u[ Ubiquity Press Represent Fully OA Group at the 2023 Charleston Conference
The Fully OA Group is headed to Charleston! We are proud to be representing ]u[ Ubiquity Press as a part of the Fully OA Publishers Group at the Charleston 2023 vendor showcase. We will be joined by fellow Fully OA members Frontiers, MDPI, and JMIR Publications.
The Fully OA Group is a collective of publishers who are all dedicated solely to open access publications. In light of last week’s International Open Access Week’s theme, ‘Community over Commercialisation’, we want to demonstrate that even as commercial entities, with a range of differing approaches and business models, we believe there is space for community and collaboration in the face of a common goal: a transition to fully open scholarly communication.
We are looking forward to representing the group’s mission and generating conversation about open access at the conference, as well as being able to get together in person with our fellow open access publishers. You will be able to find the Fully OA Group booth at the Charleston vendor showcase on 7th November, booth number 97.
Journal of Open Humanities Data Host London Get-Together
Just this week, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD)’s editorial team to our London office, for a day of meetings and team-building.
Many of our journals are made up of team members from all over the world, something that undeniably contributes to their value and diversity. However, it means that opportunities to get together in person are often few and far between, so we are always glad to be able to facilitate events like this and to have the chance to meet editors face-to-face.
Annals of Global Health Publishes ‘Universal Health Coverage Through Integrated Care’
The journal Annals of Global Health has published a new special collection entitled ‘Universal Health Coverage through Integrated Care’ in collaboration with the Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM). The collection originates from the HSDM’s Initiative to Integrate Oral Health and Medicine.
Achieving universal health care and coverage will require major systemic transformations globally. This special collection identifies barriers and opportunities for the integration of dental and behavioural health services, at community and national levels, as well as recent innovations and successes in the field.
Perspectives on Medical Education Publishes ‘The Writer’s Craft Collection’
Perspectives on Medical Education (PME) has put together a new special collection entitled ‘The Writer’s Craft Collection: Resources to enhance your academic writing’, featuring the entire back catalogue of ‘Writer’s Craft’ articles since 2015.
The collection features articles designed to support scholars in honing their academic writing skills, with recent articles such as ‘Metacommentary: Identifying and Mastering ‘Dear Reader’ Moments’, ‘The Art of Revising’, and the timely ‘Writing with ChatGPT: An illustration of its capacity, limitations & implications for academic writers’.
“Yes we can!” ]u[ Ubiquity Proceedings Publishes EDEN Dublin AC 2023 Conference Output
We are pleased to have partnered with the EDEN Dublin Annual Conference to publish the output of the 2023 conference, which explored the theme ‘“Yes we can!” — Digital Education for Better Futures’, in our proceedings journal Ubiquity Proceedings.
Ubiquity Proceedings is a low-cost, open access proceedings journal. The journal provides a platform for conference organisers to easily and professionally publish and disseminate the content of their conferences. If you are interested in having your conference output published, get in touch with our editorial team.
New ]u[ Ubiquity Press Book Out Now
Last month saw the publication of Text- und Data-Mining in den digitalen Geisteswissenschaften, by Felicitas Lea Kleinkopf. The title is the first in the Stuttgart University Reports Series and contains a legal assessment of the copyright relevance of real use cases of research with text and data mining, from the field of digital humanities, as well as the analysis of the permission of the individual work steps.
Spotlight on: International Journal of Educational and Life Transitions
This month, our journal spotlight falls on the International Journal of Educational and Life Transitions (IJELT), which has published its second volume. After launching in 2022, the 2023 volume has built on the strong foundations that Editor-in-Chief, Professor Divya Jindal-Snape, and her team established in the first volume, with a total of 27 publications and over 11,000 page views to date.
IJELT is an international, peer-reviewed journal, publishing articles and multimedia outputs of interest to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of educational and life transitions. It is interdisciplinary in approach, particularly welcoming research involving more than one discipline, sector, or nation, and publishes research studies, policy reviews, literature reviews, and multi-media and creative outputs.
The journal publishes research focused on educational, social, cultural, and psychological adaptation across multiple contexts such as home, school, workplace, and community, for example, transitions of international families, from hospital to community, or of LGBTQ+ young adults to and through employment.
We are pleased to see IJELT grow and continue to publish interesting and impactful research. The journal is now looking for contributions to the 2024 volume, for either the open submissions or to one of their collections.
Book Reviews Wanted: Journal of Interactive Media in Education
The Journal of Interactive Media in Education (JIME) is seeking reviews of some of the latest books released on the topics of educational technology, and the role of multimedia technologies in higher education.
Reviews will be commissioned on a first-come, first-served basis for qualified reviewers and are due on 31st March 2024, with the final collection of reviews to be published in July 2024. Those who are interested should contact Foster Gondwe (Book Reviews Editor) with an expression of interest.
