About
The British Academy is the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences. We mobilise these disciplines to understand the world and shape a brighter future.
British Academy Publishing has produced books for over 100 years. From aspiring early career scholars to established authors, our publishing programme showcases scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, enriching and shaping academic discourse.
British Academy Scholarship Online is an online collection of academic monographs, themed collections, and rich historical material from the distinguished British Academy list.
The British Academy Monographs series has been published since 1998 and provides an opportunity for Academy-supported early career researchers to produce substantial contributions to scholarship. Since mid-2022, British Academy Monographs have been published open access as part of efforts to widen the reach of the scholarship the Academy funds.
“Monographs are an essential form of communication for researchers in the humanities and social sciences and have been an integral part of British Academy publishing for over 20 years. Open Access publication will help make the scholarship we fund more widely available and demonstrate the talent of a new generation of scholars. Our decision to take this step reflects the Academy’s confidence in Open Access as an effective medium for academics in the humanities and social sciences when properly resourced,” says Professor Lindsay Farmer FBA, Vice-President for Publications at the British Academy, 2022 – present.
British Academy Scholarship Online is available on Oxford Academic. Libraries and institutions can get access through an annual subscription or purchase content in perpetuity. Download a full list of titles available online.
