Are you and your colleagues planning to launch an open access scholarly journal? The library provides support to journal editors who are affiliated with Umeå University. We use the platform Open Journal Systems (OJS). On this page you will find brief information about OJS and the library's services for journal publishing.
Publishing with Open Journal Systems
The Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform is a tool used by many journals worldwide. OJS allows you and your colleagues to publish an online journal that is open access and free of charge. The platform provides each journal with its own website and long-term archiving of the journal's articles. There is also built-in support for managing the editorial team's peer review process. Read more about how OJS works:
The library provides support to editorial teams who want to publish open access scientific journals using OJS. We will help you set up the journal website and provide basic training for journal editors. The library also offers some technical and editorial support in the use of OJS. The journal editorial team is responsible for all aspects of the journal's content.
To receive support from the library, the journal's editorial board must be affiliated with Umeå University.
