"#OpenAccess advocate Martin Paul Eve is the recipient of this year’s Stand UP Award from the Association of University Presses (#AUPresses)…The Stand UP Award honors those who through their words and actions have done extraordinary work to support, defend, and celebrate the #UniversityPress community."

Really delighted to have been awarded the 2024 #AUPresses StandUP Award, particularly as I have been a challenging voice. It is possible, though, to advocate for open access while valuing the labour of publishing. https://aupresses.org/news/martin-paul-eve-named-2024-aupresses-stand-up-award-winner/

It's wonderful to see the #academic community developing here. The great migration happened during #UPWeek in November, so we'd love to highlight some of our fellow presses in the @aupresses community to help everyone get to know more about #AcademicPublishing in #2023. To start, learn what's #NextUP at SUNY Press: https://sunypress.edu/Blog/2022/Who-is-NextUP-at-SUNY-Press

“[T]his is a little philological gem that certainly deserves to be consulted.”

Albrecht Classen reviews Katja Krause’s Thomas Aquinas on Seeing God: The Beatific Vision in His Commentary on Peter Lombard’s Sentences IV.49.2, praising its “excellent English translation,” introduction that discusses “truly insightfully, some of the critical issues involved,” “extensive bibliography,” and Latin-English / English-Latin glossary.

Greetings! Marquette University Press is just getting established here. We’re looking forward to connecting with scholars and other readers interested in #philosophy, #theology, #history, #MedievalStudies, and other areas of the #humanities and social sciences, as well as regional studies relating to the city of #Milwaukee and state of #Wisconsin. Aligned with the mission of #Marquette University, we are also interested in interdisciplinary, #ethics-focused scholarship in the humanities, including in the areas of #UrbanStudies, #EnvironmentalHumanities, #DataEthics, #Communication, and #MediaStudies. We’re delighted to be here!

okay, here is my #aupresses hashtag, here is my #publishing hashtag, and here is my #editing hashtag. let's find each other!

I’m just an editor, looking at a new platform, wondering if #aupresses folk, scholars in fields incl but not limited to #bookstudies, #printculture, #lgbtq studies/activism, African American studies, #americanstudies, #EnvironmentalStudies, #environmentalhistory, and other fields in which UMass Press publishes are… here somewhere?

Hi! #introduction time: I'm an acquisitions editor in #scholarlypublishing, acquiring in #Ohio regional titles, 19th century American #history (including #CivilWar), #fashion history, #sports history, peace & conflict studies, #Tolkien & Inkling studies, etc. I love being part of #aupresses, dispelling myths abt university press publishing, and getting distracted by people's pets on zoom calls

I'm one of many who've migrated from Twitter and am still figuring out Mastodon. I'm a musicologist who now works in university press publishing.

Who else is here? #AUPresses #NextUP

What is the scholarship equivalent of a novella? I’d like to write and read short books that are both more developed and detailed than an article but shorter than a regular monograph. Are there examples of this kind of thing being regularly published by someone? #AcademicToots #AUPresses #ScholarlyPublishing #UniversityPresses #HigherEd #histodons

Yesterday's marvelous NYT reflection on the bibliodiversity fostered by #UniversityPresses did contain one common misapprehension.

Most books that a UP takes a risk on ("publishing with love" as bookseller Devon Dunn put it) aren't subsidized by a university. In reality, institutional budget allocations to UPs comes to ~14% of UPs' book sales. 20% of presses reporting operating stats to #AUPresses received zero financial allocation from their institution in 2021. 1/2

Time for an #introduction! I am on the staff of the Association of #UniversityPresses #UP I've worked in scholarly, literary, and feminist publishing—mostly #associations but a long time ago in the actual work. Despite a bad habit of picking up degrees that claim the opposite, very much a jack-of-all-trades in that old binary saw.
