One service that the Queen’s University Library provides in order to support Open Access publishing is free access and hosting of Open Journal Systems (OJS) software.  Using OJS, faculty and staff can publish online open-access or subscription-based journals. OJS supports all aspects of scholarly journal publishing including peer review, tracking subscriptions, copy editing, etc.

Some of the journals published through this service at Queen’s include Surveillance and Society, Gender, Education, Music, and Society, and the Queen’s Science Undergraduate Research Journal.
