About this Event
Social sciences publishing is undergoing a profound transformation in the digital age.
From questions around AI and emerging technologies, to funding policy changes, what can we expect from the future of publishing in the social sciences?
Join us for ‘What’s in store for social sciences publishing?’ which is a free and public symposium and celebration hosted by the School’s publisher, LSE Press, geared towards prospective authors and those interested in Open Access publishing. Founded in 2018, LSE Press is the School’s Open Access publisher of high-quality research across the social sciences.
As a publishing house based in a university, LSE Press publishes books and journals via Open Access based on their principal belief that research and teaching resources should not only be free to read but should also help to create greater equity in academic research. All their books and journals are free to read and download from their website.
This symposium seeks to share knowledge on social sciences publishing processes with early career researchers and authors, as well as spotlighting Open Access innovations, and enabling networking between researchers and publishing professionals.
LSE Press is proud to host this event in LSE Library –The British Library of Political and Economic Science, whose physical and digital collections continue to inspire researchers, writers and artists across many disciplines.
The British Library of Political and Economic Science (@LSELibrary) was founded in 1896, a year after the London School of Economics and Political Science. It has been based in the Lionel Robbins Building since 1978 and houses many world class collections, including the Women's Library and Hall-Carpenter Archives.
