Library 2023/24 Open Access monograph competition: winning entries
The Library is pleased to announce the winning entries of the 2023/24 Open Access Monograph Competition.
This year, we received a record 47 entries from various Schools across the University covering a diverse range of topics. The entries were considered by Neil Humphrey, then Associate Dean: Research in the Faculty of Humanities, together with a representative panel, who selected the 5 winning titles.
Commenting on this year鈥檚 competition, Neil Humphrey said: 鈥淭his year we received a record-breaking number of entries to the competition, with submissions reflecting the excellent quality of research from Schools across the University. As ever, it was extremely difficult to make a selection, however, judges felt that the winning titles showcase research that would benefit the most from being Open Access and available to all.鈥�
