In partnership with the University of Bordeaux and INRAE, UL is collaborating in the FNSO Open U Journals 2024 project to deploy an open access scientific journal publishing platform (free access for authors as well as for readers).
Open U Journals offers a complete online publishing solution, from the management of the editorial flow (submission of articles, organization of peer review, corrections, acceptance) to the publication of articles online (in issues or in continuous flow, via 3 file formats: HTML, XML and PDF).
Multidisciplinary, it is intended to host SHS and STM journals. It is based on the open source software OJS and benefits from the support of the PKP community.
