Journal Policy Portal Project

Journal Policy Portal Project

Douglas A. Hott

Our experience shows that violating publishers' pre-publication policies is one of the main concerns of faculty and students embarking on electronic submission. It is often difficult to discover the publishers' policies and thus even more difficult to properly educate the faculty and students. In response to this problem, the University of Cincinnati is developing a database of links to publishers' journal policies. Our goal is to provide a global mechanism for students, faculty, administrators, and publishers to share information and facilitate education.
