Open science at UiT
UiT’s publishing service for open journals
Septentrio Academic Publishing is UiT’s publishing service for editors and research groups affiliated with UiT The Arctic University of Norway wanting to publish journals, series and other material.
The service currently publishes 25 publications, of which twelve are peer-reviewed journals approved at level 1 in The Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers. All publications at Septentrio are available open access. The service is free for the editors and it’s free to publish in Septentrio’s publications. No Article Processing Charges (APCs) apply. If you are planning to start a journal/series or transfer a journal to Septentrio from another publisher, see the information in Criteria for new journals and contact us at septentrio@ub.uit.no to discuss whether our publishing service is a relevant alternative to meet your needs.
Septentrio’s service portfolio:
- Publishing platform Open Journal Systems: operation and upgrading
