How UJ works

University Journals work like any other Open Access journal, just quicker and better.  You submit your manuscript, it gets reviewed and after acceptance published on our indexed online platform.  Publication is always Open Access and without costs or invoices: your university covers the publication costs for you. 

How to submit

Submission is open for all researchers based on or affiliated to our partner universities. If you are interested in publishing with us but your university is not a partner, please contact your librarian.

Manuscripts can be submitted through our online portal. Please read our guidelines for authors before submitting your work.
