Additional Information
Other Information:The journals we host are entirely run by academic units. The library provides the platform only and offers advice as needed on setting policy and the system features. The numbers reported in this survey do not take into account the staff or funding that the academic units may be using to support their journal operations (copyeditors, APC management, etc.)
