Description
This case study presents what happened when new leadership for the Virginia Journal of Public Health brought new questions about journal quality, value, and impact. Conversations initially began with the liaison librarian about the nature of journal publishing and open access today. As the conversation evolved, the Digital Collections team joined the working group to think through journal publishing for this title. This session will describe this collaborative evolution and how we worked to re-envision and migrate the journal from its prior website to the university’s institutional repository. The session will feature considerations for publishing with the institutional repository, highlight the steps involved in migrating a journal from one platform to another, and offer lessons learned from the experience. This session would be appropriate for journal editors and managers, institutional repository managers, and those seeking to learn more about the behind the scenes work of academic publishing.
