Covid-19
is currently disrupting academic publishing in a number of ways.
There are disruptions to the global supply
chain for the manufacture and distribution of printed journals. The following
publishers have halted journal printing until further notice:
Cambridge University Press (from 25 March
2020)
Taylor & Francis (from 10 April)
Some journal editors or editing boards have suspended or delayed
the review or publication process for academic journals.
On the
other hand, some publishers are providing open access content for a limited
period of time. See the following links from the UNSW library and the ANU library, or select publishers websites such as OUP.
The University of California Press has opened free access to all its journals until the end of June 2020
Hart Publishing is currently offering free
access for libraries to its online platform, Bloomsbury Collections,
until the end of May. To enable access for your
institution, email Hart at OnlineSalesUK@bloomsbury.com
