Zombie poster:
The seventh poster in our series was designed by Nicky Borowiec to celebrate Open Access Week 2023 (and its proximity to Halloween). The Zombie Poster commemorates the term ‘zombie journal’, first used by linguists in 2015 following the mass resignation of editors at the Elsevier journal Lingua. Protesting Elsevier’s claim to ‘own’ their journal, the international linguistics community boycotted Lingua and launched the community-owned open access journal Glossa in its place (published by the OLH). What was left behind was dubbed ‘Zombie Lingua’. With the commission of this original artwork, we celebrate the spirit that made this political action possible and preserve it for the public record.

Martin is a Plan S Ambassador and is currently running Work Package 3 of the COPIM project, funded by Research England and the Arcadia Foundation.
As a result of this policy work, Martin was named as one of the Guardian’s five finalists for higher education’s most inspiring leader 2017. In 2018, Martin was awarded the KU Leuven Medal of Honour in the Humanities and Social Sciences and alongside co-contributors and the editor won the Electronic Literature Organization’s N.

Martin's academic career has been equally illustrious. He is the author of twelve academic monographs on topics ranging from contemporary American and British fiction, histories and philosophies of technology, evaluative cultures in the academy, and technological mutations in scholarly publishing. Martin has also co-edited two essay collections on scholarly communications. In 2019, Martin was awarded the prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prize for Literary Studies by the Leverhulme Trust.
