Program Overview

Mission/Objectives:
UiS Scholarly Publishing Services is a publishing platform for members of the staff at the University of Stavanger. We publish books, working papers, reports and more, which normally do not reach the established publishers. This press provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. UiS Open Journals is a platform for scientific journals published at the University of Stavanger (UiS). It is open access, and free for both readers and authors. All journals are peer-reviewed, and meet the standard requirements for scientific journals.
