(6 May 2022) IGI Global has embarked on a collaboration with the University of North Texas (UNT) to release the publisher’s first platinum Open Access (OA) reference book. The forthcoming book which is set to release in early May, Global View of Open Access and Scholarly Communications, edited by Dr. Daniel Gelaw Alemneh of UNT, has been fully opened through a collaboration with IGI Global and the UNT Library. This was made possible through UNT’s investment in IGI Global e-Collections, and Open Access support.
