A trusted model for open access to scholarship and knowledge
Supported by the Humane Letters Grant, the STAR Scholars Press collaborates with libraries to provide open access to essential academic research guided by the following key principles.
- Open access to new scholarly monographs and edited collections through institutional support and grants.
- Serve as an interdisciplinary platform of groundbreaking thought and research.
- Offer a crossroads where ideas on educational practice, policy, and scholarship are shared and exchanged.
Participating libraries and STAR members benefit from substantial discounts on publishing new volumes and gain access to existing collections.
