Program Overview
Tuwhera is home to AUT’s open access publishing platform. Tuwhera is designed to share knowledge and promote scholarship without restriction. We encourage and promote scholarly, scientific and artistic investigation while respecting the academic freedom and editorial independence of our authors, editors and reviewers. Journals hosted by Tuwhera are peer reviewed, approved by expert-led editorial boards or governing bodies with content selected according to ethical and unbiased assessment practices. In addition, our service supports the formation of new and emerging scholarly publications.
