Introduction

The Library & Information Center of the University of Macedonia aims to develop and improve its services, therefore it has decided to create and operate the Library Electronic Scientific Journal Publishing Service, using the open source software Open Journal Systems.

Main scope of the Service is the concentration, sharing, dissemination, recording and preservation of the knowledge produced by the Faculty of the academic community of University of Macedonia, as well as other scientific organizations and institutes, following the open access business model (through the “golden road”). In that way, the scholarly communication is enhanced and the presence of the Library in a continuously varying digital environment is ensured.

The Library Electronic Scientific Journal Publishing Service is developed in the framework of the project “Open Access Scholarly e-Content at UOM: supporting library services for its organization, promotion, publication & interconnection” (NSRF 2007-2013, OP Digital Convergence, B2, MIS 304170).
