Open journals at UClouvain

In order to encourage the creation, the evaluation, the dissemination and the acquisition of knowledge, UCLouvain actively encourages the free access to scientific knowledge and to research outputs by supporting the publication of academic Open Access Journals using Open Journal Systems (OJS).

We help our researchers to publish and manage journals free from the constraints of commercial publishers by providing access to our OJS plateform free of charge and by dispensing help with the initial set up of a journal, as well as supplying ongoing support.

UCLouvain's definition of openness is aligned with the definition provided by the Open Knowledge Foundation : "Open means anyone can freely access, use, modify, and share for any purpose (subject, at most, to requirements that preserve provenance and openness)." (OpenDefinition, 2017).

Therefore, all journals hosted on ojs.uclouvain.be are fully Open Access and use a Creative Commons licence.
