Salford Open Journals project : the University as publisher

Abstract

At the heart of the University’s identity are principles of excellence in teaching and learning, student experience and employability, and research, all delivered through our single strategic lens of industry collaboration zones. As an increasing number of competitor UK HEIs launch their own university presses, we have an opportunity to embark upon a unique publishing project which would showcase the fruits of our teaching, learning, research and industry collaboration via a new open journals platform. ‘Salford Open Journals’ would publicise the contribution our people make, broadening our academic reach, and offering a powerful new channel for our academics and students to communicate knowledge and innovation to industry partners and other interested groups.
