Hi Martha: I don't know the space well, but I wonder if there's a community OA repository for social sciences similar to what Humanities Commons <https://hcommons.org/> has done for the humanities. They encourage folks to upload books there. Maybe something like https://onlinelibrary.london.ac.uk/resources/databases/social-science-open-access-repository ? Another idea would be to upload and host it somewhere like the Internet Archive. tim On Thu, Nov 10, 2022 at 2:41 PM Martha Stuit < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi SCCKG, > > I'm hoping that you may have some input on a publishing conundrum! > > An Emeritus Professor in Sociology at UCSC wants to publish an edited > volume of essays written by prisoners in Soledad through a UCSC project and > course.
