Moving Towards Sustainability

OJS Publishing at OsloMet University Library

Abstract

COM 2.2

The University Library at OsloMet started running the OJS platform for publishing open access journals in 2011. The platform quickly grew from three start-up journals, to today’s 15 published journals. The free service expanded from focusing on running a platform, to offering support on all levels of academic journal publishing. They provide advice on peer review, DOIs, indexing, publication formats, financing and facilitate experience sharing between journals. At a cost, they also publish journals for other institutions in Norway, and regularly receive requests to include more journals. This presentation shares experiences from building a publishing platform, lessons learned along the way, and goals for the future of sustainable library publishing.
