Columbia University Journals

Through our journals program, the Libraries and our Digital Scholarship team support the creation, discovery, and dissemination of quality open-access research. We seek collaborations with Columbia-affiliated faculty and students who want to ask new questions, play at the borders of currently canonized fields, open new pathways of inquiry, explore innovative methods, and bring new and traditionally underrepresented voices into conversation.

Publish With Us

Looking to publish a journal with Columbia University Libraries? Any individual faculty member, librarian, or student, or any department, center, research unit, or college associated with Columbia University or its affiliates can propose a digital project or journal partnership with the libraries. We seek out diverse and unique projects that aim to fill gaps in the scholarly record, to provide new publishing venues for disciplines outside the mainstream, graduate students, and emerging scholars, and that offer opportunities for participants to gain confidence and knowledge in academic publishing.

Publishing Education & Editorial Support

At Columbia University Libraries, we work to support our journal editors with opportunities to learn about publishing, digital technologies, and scholarly communications. The Digital Publishing Workshop is an online space supporting Columbia University Libraries’ on-campus publishing workshops and the editors of CUL’s journals publishing program. Explore our publishing workshop curriculum, find resources to support your journal, or find an event to attend on campus!

Journal editors can find links to our program's standard documentation, including media permissions forms and art logs. Editors will also be able to download typesetting templates and to access sample texts that can aid in writing peer review forms, author guidelines, and more.
