Dr Dr François van Schalkwyk from @MatiesResearch presenting on on scholar-led book publishing. #DKIS #DOASummit2024
The question he raised was "Are independent scholar-led publishers a return to the era of professional publishing or are they a new type of scholarly publishing?" #DOASummit2024 #DKIS #publishing
