Mission statement

All journals published by LiU E-Press are Open Access, meaning that they are freely available online. Several of these journals have been active for more than a decade and most of them are indexed in high-quality databases and directories such as Scopus, DOAJ and the Norwegian list. We also publish conference proceedings with a connection to LiU.

We are also hosting a number of databases, primarily containing historical data.

In the institutional repository and publishing plattform DiVA, we publish dissertations, student theses, e-books and working papers in our different series. DiVA is also used for registration of publications by LiU researchers and for parallel publishing of articles previously published in subscription-based journals.

All authors publishing with LiU E-Press retain the copyright of their work and their publications are given Creative Commons licenses. LiU E-Press does not charge any publication fees.

LiU E-Press is a part of Linköping University Library, and the Board of the Library is its decision-making body.

In summary, our mission is to:

• offer employees and students at LiU permanent publishing of therir work
• provide a portal to the collected research from LiU and be responsible for the publication platforms such as DiVA and OJS
• offer LiU researchers to perform plagiarism checks of scintific publications
• provide LiU with bibliometric analyzes of the content in the plattforms
• support LiU researchers with knowledge in research communication
• offer web services for LiU researchers that will facilitate their work with for example publication registration, parallel publishing and creation of data management plans.
