Digital Publication Series to Launch on E-Scholarship
By Shauna Mecartea

On behalf of the Digital Archive Committee, I am pleased to announce the
launch of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology's eScholarship repository
account.
The repository is a service of the eScholarship initiative of the
California Digital Library, and is an open-access publishing platform that
offers UC departments, centers, and research units direct control over the
creation and dissemination of the full range of their scholarship, including
journals and peer-reviewed series, postprints, and seminar papers. These
materials are freely available to the public online.
In an effort to produce innovative digital publications, the newly named
Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press (formerly the Publications Unit)
collaborated with eScholarship and UCLA Digital Library to create our branded
account to launch the upcoming Cotsen Digital Archaeology (CDA)
series. The CDA series presents the results of original archaeological and
conservation research through digitally initiated and accessible publications
that integrate innovative multimedia and data links. The series is made
available through eScholarship at no cost to consumers. All digital publications
will be available in print format for a fee through print-on-demand
services.
Our first publication in this series is in production and is edited by
Ellen Pearlstein. Additionally, Cotsen Institute Press will offer postprints of
previously published titles online as well.

Cotsen Digital Archaeology series has also been added to the Journals and
Peer Review list and can be seen at:
eScholarship provides alternative publication services online for the UC
community, supports widespread distribution of the materials that result from
research and teaching at UC, and fosters new models of scholarly publishing
through development and application of advanced technologies. Cotsen Institute
Press is proud to be participating in this publishing program, and look forward
to launching the series.
