Joint Volumes

Related to the six work packages of KEAC-BSR, we intend to publish a series of six books that deals with the development of knowledge exchange and academic cultures in the humanities from the mid-18th to the 21st century. All books will be made available on an open access basis on the project’s website as well as via book repositories such as oapen.org.

Every book from this series will be edited from an expert (or a team of experts) on the era under investigation. S/he or they will thereby manage a reviewing process, where two reviewers are chosen from both within and outside the project’s extended advisory board. In case of a disagreement between the two reviewers, the editors will make the final decisions.
