UCT Press Relaunch

A Landmark Moment: UCT Press Returns Home

We were thrilled to celebrate the momentous return of UCT Press to its roots at the University of Cape Town. This exciting relaunch event had been made possible through the collaborative efforts of the UCT Press Board, UCT Libraries, and the Communications and Marketing Department (CMD). Together, we were proud to host a special relaunch event as UCT Press is now fully integrated and managed by the University of Cape Town.

The Impact of Open Access Publishing

Our authors have experienced firsthand the profound benefits of sharing their manuscripts through open access on the UCT Press website. They have reported significant increases in global reach and download rates, demonstrating the powerful impact of making academic work freely available to all.

Open access publishing at UCT Press not only enhances the visibility and impact of research but also aligns with South Africa's social justice agenda. By removing cost barriers, we are democratizing access to knowledge and contributing to a more equitable and informed society.

Join us in celebrating this new chapter for UCT Press and explore how open access can transform both local and global academic landscapes.
