Program Overview
McGill Library and Archives publishes scholarly peer-reviewed journals using an open access business model. We achieve this by working closely with our campus community in order to provide them with publishing services that support their research needs, accommodating multiple levels of scholarship including faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates. We ensure that journals published with us are disseminated worldwide with appropriate infrastructure and that content is accessible on a global scale with minimal restrictions on access and reuse.
