Primarily a digital open access publishing program, it aims to explore new modes of scholarly publishing, while making works available simultaneously in print and digital formats, for a varied audience. In keeping with the university\u2019s goal to \u201cenhance the societal benefit derived through mobilization of research knowledge \u2026 across disciplines,\u201d the program works with scholars at the university to enable success in scholarly publishing.<\/p>\n<p>The ePublishing team will assist from start to finish, with a review of materials, copyright, formatting, and design. Digital publications are archived on <a href=\"https:\/\/dspace.library.uvic.ca\">UVicSpace<\/a> (UVic\u2019s institutional repository). Print-on-demand copies are available for purchase through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvicbookstore.ca\/general\/uvic-publishing\">UVic Bookstore<\/a>. Authors are required to supply funding for external professional services such as copy editing and book design, however Libraries staff can suggest and facilitate the application for additional grants to assist with these costs, where possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

The Libraries, on behalf of the university, established a journal publishing service in 2007 and currently hosts 31 scholarly journals. The list of titles (<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.uvic.ca\">https:\/\/journals.uvic.ca<\/a>) includes a number of peer-reviewed scholarly journals (e.g., <em>International Journal of Child, Youth and Family Studies<\/em>, <em>Philosophy in Review<\/em>, <em>CTheory<\/em>, <em>International Journal of Indigenous Health<\/em>, <em>Migration, Mobility and Displacement<\/em>, <em>Illumine: Journal of the Centre for Studies in Religion and Society<\/em>, and <em>Satir International Journal<\/em>) created by departments or Centres at the university. The site also hosts a number of undergraduate, graduate, and scholarly society\/association journals (e.g., <em>Journal of Childhood Studies<\/em>, <em>The Midden<\/em>, and <em>Topiques, \u00c9tudes Satoriennes<\/em>). All the journals are published using an open access business model, with the library providing hosting, indexing, and technical support. The peer-review and publication aspects are handled by the respective editorial boards, with assistance from the library when needed.<\/p><p>The successful development of a journal publishing program led to the development of a pilot book publishing program in 2009. Faculty approach the SCO to discuss the creation of scholarly monographs on various topics. Each project includes editorial and publication support from the Office staff, including the procurement of a book designer. A faculty member who is interested in utilizing this service is responsible for bringing a well-edited book and the funds for hiring a professional book designer for the project.
