The AHRC International Placement Scheme (IPS) provides fellowships for doctoral students and early career researchers to conduct research at internationally renowned institutions. The IPS started in 2005 and has placed over 270 fellows across 6 host institutions, including the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institute, National Institutes for the Humanities in Japan, Huntington Library, Harry Ransom Center, and Yale Center for British Art. In 2015, Shanghai Theatre Academy was added as a new host. The IPS aims to provide dedicated access to host collections and resources, enhance scholars' research, and create networking opportunities. Applicants must be in receipt of AHRC or ESRC funding and conduct research relevant to their funding within an AHRC/ESRC subject area
This document discusses a project examining the role and purpose of academic books in serving scholarship and learning. The project has two phases: the first involves literature reviews and evidence gathering to understand issues, and the second establishes a community coalition to conduct focused mini-projects. The goal is to investigate opportunities and challenges of technological developments while extensively consulting the academic, publishing, and library communities. The project aims to sustain and enhance the impact of arts and humanities research by navigating breadth and depth of impact from all perspectives.
The HEFCE Monographs & Open Access Project was set up to identify and clarify issues around making monographs openly accessible online, taking a long-term perspective beyond REF 2020. The project examines the culture of monographs in the humanities and social sciences, whether there is a crisis for the monograph form, and how publishing innovations and access models may impact monographs. The project has convened an expert group, conducted research including focus groups, and will report findings to HEFCE in late 2014. Key issues being considered include the role and definition of the monograph, peer review and quality standards, licensing models, and ensuring a balance of private and public benefits from any new models.
The document summarizes a report on challenges for early career researchers (ECRs) pursuing academic careers in the arts and humanities. It finds that 92% of ECRs on fixed-term contracts expressed career concerns, compared to 60% on permanent contracts. ECRs felt short-term posts hindered skills development and publishing. While universities said they supported ECRs, ECR perceptions did not match this. The discussion focused on how subject associations and AHRC could help address issues like mentoring and networking to share experiences. Some initiatives provided resources for unemployed PhDs or supported early career historians.
The AHRC launched a major new funding initiative in modern languages: the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) on12th May 2014 in London. It provided an opportunity for academics and partners to learn more about the initiative and to network with other organisations, prior to releasing a call for Expressions of Interest. These are the slides from the launch event.
A town meeting was held at the British Library to launch the call for The Academic Book of the Future. This call, in association with the British Library, relates to the AHRC's Digital Transformations in the Arts and Humanities Theme. The call’s aim is to explore the future of the academic book in the context of open access publishing and the digital revolution. A single consortium will be funded through this scheme, with total project costs up to a value of £450k FEC, with AHRC providing 80% of the costs, and lasting up to 24 months from October 2014.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Maja Maricevic on the academic book of the future project. The project will explore the future of academic publishing, including monographs and edited collections, considering changing technologies and open access. It will address implications for book production, research and publishing processes, libraries, and readers. The British Library is committed to collecting and providing access to scholarly content, including digital formats, and their role in the project includes advising, collaborating, and sharing expertise.
