Program Overview

The University of Oklahoma Libraries supports platforms for open access journal publishing and an institutional repository. We seek publishing partners who: wish to publish open access (OA) journals; wish to publish open educational resources (OER), including open textbooks; utilize an internationally/nationally recognized editorial board; have the resources and staff to publish in a timely manner on a regular schedule; seek to publish original scholarly content; and are selective in accepting quality content for publication via a rigorous peer-review process. We are committed to hosting journals that cover diverse, unique, and underrepresented fields and topics.
