The University Press office will be closed after today until Weds 7th January. To everyone I've spoken to, or exchanged emails with, over the past three months - my grateful thanks.

See you all in '26 for the next phrase of the Press project.

Coming to the end of month 3 of the University Press Strategic Review project, & it's been a hectic but revelatory journey since late September.

My deepest thanks to everyone who talked with me about the press, their publishing or in offering their advice, incite and support - deeply appreciated.

Spotlight on: Boardman, et al., 2024, Qualitative Remote Data Collection Guidance 2024

DOI: doi.org/10.31273/978...

The book was inspired by the events of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced qualitative health and social care researchers to rapidly convert to remote methods of data collection.

Sitting in an OASPA event on global Diamond OA.

Interesting as always to get an international perspective, especially from outside the western academic sphere.

Fascinating similarities with UoWarwick Press' journal's community, alongside some intriguing ideas to feed into my thoughts.
