Top Titles in the UMP Ebook Collection
Using Altmetric Explorer, the Open Syllabus Project, and Dimensions, we've identified the University of Michigan Press titles in the UMP Ebook Collection that are most discussed (i.e., have the highest Altmetric scores), most used in classrooms (i.e., are featured in the most open syllabi), and most cited (i.e., feature the highest citation numbers in the Dimensions index).
It's not very scientific, but if you are looking to catch up on some reading or spice up your online teaching, you might find a keeper here. UMP EBC offers unlimited multi-user, perpetual access, and DRM-free copies to purchasing libraries and all titles are free-to-read for the rest of the academic term. That's one way we can support the students and faculty members struggling with academic continuity in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
