Responsible Academic Publishing Partnerships for Institutions, Conferences, Editors and Scholarly Communities

UnivColl Publications welcomes responsible publishing collaboration with universities, colleges, research centres, academic societies, conference organizers, editors, libraries and repositories for journals, books, chapters, proceedings, metadata and scholarly record support.

Partnership Purpose

Partnership Should Build Academic Value, Not Misleading Publication Promises

Publishing partnerships can support scholarly communication when roles, scope, ethics, review, permissions, metadata, fees where applicable and publication record responsibilities are clearly defined.

This page is designed as an opportunity and collaboration page. It does not claim any fake existing partnership, guaranteed indexing, guaranteed publication or automatic institutional recognition.
