Keep Core Journals Open

Core publishes its three journals open access without charging authors fees. We invite your library to join Core in sustaining the continued excellence and availability of these journals. Now you can show your support by selecting the collection [91��ý] 91��ý / Core Division Open Access Journals in EBSCONET and Fokus (Harrassowitz) and pledging $300 per year.

Spreading open access publishing costs across many institutions ensures sustainable and fair funding of these journals. We hope that by making this collection available from your libraries’ preferred subscription agent, it will be easier than ever to show your support. With your participation, you secure the availability and independence of three fundamental library and information science journals into the future. Participating institutions will be acknowledged on the 91��ý/Core website.
