Program Overview

The University of Victoria Libraries supports scholarly publishing activities through a variety of activities, providing technology, expertise and promotional support for researchers and students seeking to make their research widely accessible via open access. The Library’s current publishing activities include publishing and hosting several open access journals (faculty, students, association/society, and college journals) on the Open Journals Systems software platform, and hosting and disseminating UVic research and publications (e.g., theses, major projects, technical reports, working papers, posters, reports, books) through our institutional repository. The Library also offers publishing support to faculty for the creation of open access books and textbooks, largely funded via external and internal grants.
