Program Overview

Mission statement: The library publishing activities promote appreciation of university science, development of researchers’ opportunities for broad academic and public exchange of discoveries and ideas, preservation and accessibility of research results and unique historical documents of DNURT. The main publishing resources of the library are OA resources and include two peer-reviewed journals and materials from two conferences. The main publishing services are aimed at supporting the production, distribution, and preservation of scientific works; as well as advising the university community on the creation of scientific works, open access publishing, copyright law, metadata, analytics, and sharing publishing experience with other university presses when transitioning to OJS and OCS platforms. The library publishing activities focus their efforts on maximizing the impact of DNURT publications within the international scientific and public sphere and facilitating the free exchange of knowledge.

Additional Information

Plans for Expansion & Future Directions:
Further development of library publishing, improving its reputation and influence. We hope to expand our collections of e-journals and e-conferences. We plan to increase the number of scientific publications and educational resources of scientists and students of DNURT through the expansion of the repository and the promotion of its capabilities. We are going to start publication of monographs on the Open Monograph Press platform.
Other Information:
The DNURT library was the first in Ukraine that started its library publishing activities. For 7 years the library has successfully popularized its experience among university libraries of Ukraine and hosted webinars, trainings, and consultations for librarians. In May 2017, the DNURT library conducted an all-Ukrainian study (“Library Publishing Services at Ukrainian Universities”) in which 112 libraries took part.
