The UJ Library supports open access and is committed to making information more freely available to the public, to our students and to our academics.
The UJ Library and UJ Press support open access publishing and the dissemination of information through open access platforms. Part of our mission at the UJ Library and UJ Press is to support research in any way that we can. We host journals for any institution and support editors in hosting and managing their journals. The UJ Library Open Journal System (OJS) is the digital platform on which these journals are hosted and managed by UJ Press.
UJ Press was established in October 2020 under the auspices of the UJ Library. The press started publishing Open Access journals on the Open Journal System (OJS). In October 2021, the Press set up an Open Monograph Press (OMP) and started publishing books in print, electronic and audio formats.
UJ Press is committed to the goals of open research and open access (OA) publishing. We encourage full access to our publications on most international scholarly platforms.
Our OA policy helps our authors achieve a high level of openness with their research and supports them in meeting the OA requirements of their research funders and institutions.
We encourage authors to self-archive their works on the platforms of their choice. We provide a DOI link to their book and chapters which can be used to reference their contribution.
UJ Press publish books and journals in both Gold and Diamond Open Access models.
