To mark International Open Access Week, we had the pleasure of having a SAHA Conversation with Dr Brianna Robertson-Kirkland, Associate Head of BMus with a specialism in Historical Musicology at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) and a member of the Editorial Board of the Scottish Universities Press (SUP).
Scottish Universities Press (SUP) is a fully open access publishing press coordinated by the Scottish Confederation of University and Research Libraries (SCURL) and managed by 20 member libraries on a not-for-profit basis. The SUP model provides a clear and cost-effective route for researchers to make their work freely available to a global audience, extending the impact of research across society and meeting the requirements of funders. SUP delivers a full-service publishing experience with open communication and transparent processes from peer review through to promotion. SUP is community-led and responsive to the needs of the academic community that it serves.
You can read more about SUP on their website sup.ac.uk and on the guest blog written by Dominique Walker (available here). Visit rcs.ac.uk from more information on The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
