*Proposals are invited for a new series called “Perspectives on Open
Access” to be published by the University of Ottawa Press
<https://press.uottawa.ca/>*

The transformative implications of open access philosophy and practice are
numerous and far-reaching. Economic, cultural, and social issues are being
openly explored, and new knowledge and forms of inquiry are being advanced
in an increasingly interdisciplinary context. Thanks to the reach afforded
by open access venues, scholars are interacting with global audiences and
significantly extending their impact and visibility in society.



This new series proposes to examine open access as an area of scholarly
inquiry and will publish peer-reviewed monographs that examine its role in
contemporary society. With this series, the University of Ottawa Press,
already a leader in open access publishing in Canada, will expand its scope
to be on the leading edge of new scholarship in this rapidly evolving area.



We welcome proposals in all areas of open access scholarship including, but
not limited to:



·         Economic, cultural, and social issues;

·         New methodologies, models, paradigms, and theories;

·         Public policy discourse and opportunities;

·         Interdisciplinary approaches that touch upon multiple fields,
such as information science, sociology, law, economics, political science,
philosophy, and cultural studies;

·         New forms of knowledge creation, dissemination, and use in an
open access environment

Books in this series will be made available under a Creative Commons
license as agreed to by the Author and the Press.

The University of Ottawa Press publishes works in both official languages.
Proposals can be either in English or in French.
