Open Access Monographs
The LibraryPress@UF publishes born-digital scholarship, journals, conference proceedings, works in special formats or limited editions (e.g., artists’ books), works that amplify the impact of the Libraries’ collections, and community- or partner-driven scholarship and public humanities outputs.

Open Access Journals
The George A. Smathers Libraries support over 20 open access journals publishing on Florida Online Journals (Florida OJ), using Open Journal Systems. This software supports editors working through all stages of the editorial process, from submission to publication. OJS allows authors to submit manuscripts, editors to assign peer reviewers, reviewers to submit their reviews, and editors to manage workflows for copyediting, design, and final publication.
Available support services from the LibraryPress@UF to Florida OJ publishing partners include:
- Editorial workflow consultation
- Usage statistics
- Recommended language for editorial policies
- DOI registration
- Customized designs for website banners and logos
- Technical support
- Training
- And more!

Conference Proceedings
Annual conference proceedings with connection to or a sponsor from the University of Florida are eligible for publication in Florida OJ. For one-time conference proceedings, we are happy to guide you through other options, such as uploading a PDF for preservation to the IR@UF or publishing a book of formal proceedings through Pressbooks.
