Scholarly Communication, Open Access, and Publishing: WHO ARE WE AND WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

This guide provides faculty, staff, and students information about the transformation in creating, distributing, providing access to, and preserving scholarly output within the academic community.

WHO ARE WE?

The Scholarly Communications Teams is headed by Brad Ost (bost@auctr.edu). Along with the Research Analytics & Data Visualizations Librarian Bryan Briones (bbriones@auctr.edu), we work collaboratively with the head of the Digital Services Department Christine Wiseman (cwiseman@auctr.edu), and Digital Initiatives Librarian Lynn Davies (ldavies@auctr.edu) to meet the scholarly communications needs of all researchers and teaching faculty here at the Atlanta University Center.

 

So, what do we do?

Place your research or Open Access articles in our Open Access Repository. And if you're interested in starting an Open Access journal we'd be happy to create a space for you for free on our Open Journal System (OJS) platform.
