UCL Press partners with Janeway to migrate their 15 journals

OLH and UCL Press are pleased to announce a new journals hosting partnership with Janeway, our in-house open source scholarly publishing platform.  This new partnership will provide a more intuitive, improved navigation experience for UCL's global readership and greater flexibility, ownership, and efficiency for its Journals Programme as it continues to expand and grow. 

The UCL Press journals programme aims to create valuable opportunities and contributions to advances in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and STEM subjects at a global level, by way of challenging the publication process/format status quo and providing a unique and open alternative for researchers and the academic community. All 15 fully open access journals published by UCL Press have transferred onto the new platform and can now be found at https://journals.uclpress.co.uk, including the journal UCL Open Environment launched by UCL Press in 2019 as the first and only dedicated, multi-disciplinary, Open Science journal, that publishes broadly across all environment-related subjects (https://journals.uclpress.co.uk/ucloe). 

All journals are editorially independent, each supported by its own Editorial Board; these are carefully appointed to provide specialist subject specific expertise and are published open access to help ensure the widest possible inclusivity, dissemination, and readership. UCL Press Journals programme reaches a global audience and attracts a broad range of contributors, and the press works with a large number of subject specific indexers, repositories, and search databases, including PubMed Central, Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, Dimensions, Google Scholar and many more.
