Program Overview
UTS ePRESS is the digital, open access scholarly publishing arm of UTS. We publish high quality scholarly titles across a wide range of academic disciplines, including governance, history, law, literacy, international studies, society and social justice and indigenous studies. Focusing on open access digital formats only, UTS ePRESS currently publishes journals, books and conference proceedings and is the leading publisher of peer reviewed open access journals in Australasia. UTS ePRESS seeks to publish peer reviewed, scholarly literature in areas of strategic priority for UTS and beyond, attracting the involvement of leading scholars from around the world. In doing so, our aim is to enhance scholarly publishing by exploring, innovating and enabling new modes of publication in the digital arena. UTS ePRESS is a not -for-profit publisher. We strongly support the free dissemination of scholarly material and, since our inception, have deepened our commitment to open access publishing, despite the growth of complex and diverse publishing models across the world. Our goal is to unlock publicly funded research and share knowledge that will benefit scholars, researchers, readers and the public, and to extend its reach and impact by making it openly available and widely accessible to a global audience.
