What does the future hold for academic books?

Between August 2014 and September 2016, the Academic Book of the Future Project, initiated by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Library, explored the current and future status of the traditional academic monograph. In this feature essay, Professor Marilyn Deegan, one of the co-Investigators on the Project and author of the Project Report, reflects on its findings, welcoming them as an opportunity to open up further dialogue on the horizons of the academic book.
