We hope to offer comforting examples and thought-provoking reflections for the wider community of PGRs. To others, we hope they are indicative of the sort of novel pedagogies PGRs have cultivated and the challenges they faced in their teaching.

BALEAP already has a relationship with the Journal of English for Academic Purposes (JEAP), published by Elsevier (online ISSN: 1878-1497). The JEAP has an impact factor of 3.1, a CiteScore of 6.6 and an acceptance rate of 11%. BALEAP has historically had an agreement with Garnet who would publish the biennial conference proceedings. Garnet has since decided to end this agreement. As such the BALEAP community needs a new home for the publication of the conference proceedings and research and practice papers that pertain to the field of English for Academic Purposes. The BALEAP Journal will be the new home of the conference proceedings. The journal will publish other submissions of any genre. The Journal鈥檚 mission is to challenge and drive the field forward.
As a press we are committed to open access dissemination of research and teaching materials while maintaining the academic quality of the work we disseminate. The press is designed to be a place where researchers and academics can experiment and innovate their approach to publishing.

Strategic Review
Following a study by local academics in 2023, there was a recommendation for an active redevelopment of UWP. This led to the recent (Sept 鈥�25) recruitment of the Press鈥� first specifically dedicated staff member, , as Press Manager. Dr Johnson鈥檚 remit is to build on the earlier study by conducting a strategic review of the Press鈥� operations, ambitions and potential. The outcomes from this twelve-month project will be:
- a business case with rationalised recommendations for staffing, models and evolution of the Press
- an outline five-year operational and implementation plan to bring about this evolutionary change
- an exploration of routes through in which UWP can be enhanced, refined and supported within its current operational paradigm
Recommendations and resource implications emerging from these outcomes will be considered by 糖心TV鈥檚 senior managerial and leadership strata, who will make any final decision on the Press鈥� future direction.
Project Phases
The Press Manager reports to a Project Board, headed by the University Librarian, and liaises closely with the Library鈥檚 Open Research and Research and Academic Support teams. The strategic review project itself has five phases of activity, scheduled to run from mid-September 2025 to mid-September 2026.
- Landscape Evaluation: Scoping and exploring other new university presses modes of operation alongside establishing key markers and mechanisms for successful operation. [Completed]
- Community Consultation: Conversations with local scholars and other stakeholders to shape operations to resonate with institutional ambitions while establishing areas where a 鈥榝uture鈥� UWP can add value. [Completed]
- Modelling & Testing: Developing outline plans and proposals for an evolved Press, then testing and adjusting them with insights from the local community. [Completed]
- Refinement & Governance: Final refinement of outputs and recommendations, alongside establishing key governance structures to underscore quality assured and effective operations. Reports to and feedback from University committees also forms a key strand in this phase. [Ongoing]
- Close-Down: Delivery of final business, implementation and project plans to Project Board, close-down of project activity and handover of any key assets to colleagues. [Pending]
Assuming support for the recommendations and planned develops is forthcoming, it is anticipated that the implementation of the Press鈥� new iteration will commence in academic year 26/27.
