Journal Publishing Eligibility

In addition to maintaining an affiliation with a PALNI supported institution, journals must meet the following criteria to publish with the PALNI Open Press.

  1. Be immediately open access without embargo or author fees
  2. Have an editor
  3. Have a quality control system (e.g., peer review, editorial review board)
  4. Publish at least annually
  5. At the time of publication, have the following information available from their homepages: contact, aims and scope, editor/editorial board, guidelines for authors, quality control system, open access statement, Creative Commons license, and plagiarism policy.

Both new and existing publications are eligible. Journals are strongly recommended to have an editorial board and ISSN (International Standard Serial Number). 

The Publishing Services Admin Team can provide consultation and support for these criteria. Contact the team to get started.
