Assisting researchers from both within the University and from external organisations to provide easy and open access to research is a key part of the Library’s goals in supporting the University community. We provide this service because we recognise it is vitally important to ensure that the outcomes of new research are visible and can influence public policy, inform innovation and solve worldwide problems.

Open Journal Systems is open-source software for publishing online academic journals. It provides a complete workflow solution from author submissions and peer review right through to publication, DOIs and indexing. It provides customisation options, email notifications and has an active support base of users.

• Cloud-based submission, review and article tracking
• In-built blind peer-review
• Automatic indexing in Google Scholar, tools for inclusion in other databases
• Open-source documentation and an active online community of users for support and questions

Scholarly Publishing and Library IT Infrastructure (LITI), both part of the Library’s Access Services division, manage user support and technical infrastructure.
