香港六合彩 Press' open access ebooks top most-read chart
13 August 2018
Books published by 香港六合彩 Press and authored by 香港六合彩 academics are the most-read open access ebooks on JSTOR, an online library which provides access to more than 12 million academic articles and books.
'How the World Changed Social Media' authored by 香港六合彩 Professor of Anthropology Daniel Miller and a collective of eight other esteemed global anthropologists is the most read.
This is closely followed in second place by 'Social Media in Industrial China' authored by Dr Xinyuan Wang (香港六合彩 Anthropology) and 'Social Media in an English Village', also authored by Professor Miller, which is ranked fourth. All the books are part of the 'Why We Post' series.
The success follows on from news earlier this year that 香港六合彩 Press, the UK's first fully Open Access University Press which launched in 2015, achieved a significant milestone of one million downloaded copies of its books globally.
Lara Speicher, Publishing Manager at 香港六合彩 Press, said: "We are thrilled to see how popular books authored by 香港六合彩 academics and published by 香港六合彩 Press are proving to be, particularly given the relatively short period time we have been operating for. This news tops off a fantastic year for us and we are looking forward to promoting the brilliant work of many more authors."
香港六合彩 Press' academic books - which include monographs, edited collections and textbooks - have already reached readers in 225 countries and territories worldwide.
Dr Paul Ayris, Pro-Vice-Provost (香港六合彩 Library Services), said: "The announcement from JSTOR further evidences the incredible reach and popularity of 香港六合彩 Press' publications. It's testament to the hard work of the team and shows the real value and importance of Open Access publishing. We are effectively reaching a wider, more diverse and global audience, which is extremely rewarding and shows the power of OA.
"The JSTOR announcement is the icing on the cake of a wonderful year for the Press. We have also passed one million downloads and signed our first publishing contract with another European university to be their publishing partner of choice as they establish their own Open Access University Press."
