Trent Librarians have expert knowledge about publishing practices and can provide advice and strategies when considering which journal to publish in. Contact us at library@trentu.ca to learn more about how we can assist your publishing and knowledge mobilization efforts.
In addition, we offer the following specific publishing support:
The Trent Library hosts its own Open Journal System (OJS), an open-source publishing platform that allows Trent faculty to create and host an open-access journal. Trent provides server space, help with set-up, and management support.
If you are interested in creating or relocating an open-source publication, please contact library@trentu.ca.
Trent University Library recognizes the critical role of open access publishing in improving the dissemination and impact of research. Our commitment to OA is reflected in our active participation in both provincial and federal consortia, including the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN). Through these partnerships, we strive to support the Trent community in navigating the OA publishing landscape, offering resources and discounts to facilitate the process.
By actively participating in publisher agreements negotiated by the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), the Library empowers Trent-affiliated researchers to leverage a number of APC discounts. Details and instructions on accessing these benefits can be found in the Library’s Open Access Publishing Guide.
TULA supports a variety of OA initiatives through monograph purchases and subscriptions in order to expand access to scholarly resources.
Our Digital Collections platform serves as a digital and institutional repository for the university community. The collections cover a wide range of materials, including faculty publications, graduate theses, archival and University heritage collections, and media.
