As well as more discussions with academics about publishing, today I've been collaborating on planning a peer-review training session for ECRs next week with some colleagues.
Very much looking forward to a few hours of fascinating debate and insight from the delegates next week.
We’ve updated our ‘Training Hub’ on our @uolpress.bsky.social website - please share!
All docs and videos featured from training sessions are now accessible and easier to find, with extra resources added to help students, researchers and anyone keen to find out more about academic publishing…
SNAP!
We've also got a new documentation site

Great minds and all that 😀
Wonderful meeting with my Metadata and Cataloguing colleagues to catch them up on the Press, and listen to their questions around plans for its future iteration.
Followed by meeting a former departmental colleague now in Marketing, to hear all about her exciting work too.
