Scientific journals that are no longer in print, but whose archives are available in digital format
RCUB enables different types of publication depending on your journal’s needs:
Basic management: publication of only the table of contents and final versions of the papers, in PDF or HTML format
Full management: management and independent control by the editor of the entire publishing process for the electronic journal, from the receipt of manuscripts by potential authors to the acceptance of papers by an editorial committee, peer review, corrections, etc., and the issue’s final publication
Reference management: only a description of the journal and publication of the table of contents, where possible
The purpose of this portal is twofold: to help bring these journals to a wider audience, and to provide UB editors with a tool for managing and publishing their electronic journals.
RCUB objectives
To enable the editorial management and publication of an electronic journal from a single online platform
To create a single search and dissemination environment for UB journals
To encourage publication in digital format and open access
To facilitate the preservation of journals for future use
Support from the CRAI to the editors of scientific journals of the UB
What we offer from the CRAI:
Server maintenance and updating of the OJS open-source software
Training on the use of OJS
Advice on managing copyright and intellectual property
Guidelines for improving a journal’s position in both Spanish and international rankings and for increasing quality and visibility
Entry of the tables of contents of RCUB journals in RACO and Dialnet. When a journal is registered with RCUB, the CRAI regularly updates the tables of contents in both repositories
These calls are intended to provide financial assistance to UB members (research groups, teaching staff, UB schools or departments) who publish or wish to publish electronic journals, although the grants may also be used for parallel publication on paper.
