CCRI Publication Successes – Autumn 2025

It has been a particularly active few months for publications, as our team have had numerous successes with a range of articles. This includes a new open access book which was co-edited by Daniel Keech and contains multiple chapters written by him and other CCRI colleagues. Many other publications are in the pipeline and will be reported in subsequent newsletters. Full details of Daniel’s book and the most recent articles are provided below.

Full details of all CCRI publications can be found on the University of Gloucestershire’s Research Repository. Please note, not all items may be available due to publisher embargo.
