UVic Libraries ePublishing Services

About UVic ePublishing:

UVic Libraries’ ePublishing Services, established in 2007, serves to extend the reach and reputation of the university through the publication of scholarly, artistic, and educational books and journals that advance research, teaching, and learning. Primarily a digital open access publishing program, it aims to explore new modes of scholarly publishing, while making works available simultaneously in print and digital formats, for a varied audience. In keeping with the university’s goal to “enhance the societal benefit derived through mobilization of research knowledge … across disciplines,” the program works with scholars at the university to enable success in scholarly publishing.

The aim of the program is to publish innovative and experimental works (fiction and non-fiction/journals and books) in established and new disciplines, including a focus on regional books that contribute to an understanding of and are of special benefit to British Columbia. In addition, the publishing service contributes to the scholarship of teaching by aiding and advocating for the development of textbooks created by faculty, including cultural institutions and other non-profit organizations in the community, to distribute and co-publish titles resulting from collaborative initiatives.

You can order print-on-demand copies of these publications through the University of Victoria Bookstore. For more information on UVic ePublishing Services, check out our website.
