Apply to become a publishing partner with the Open Journals Collective. Submissions invited by May 15, 2026.

The Open Journal Collective (OJC) works with mission-aligned nonprofit publishing organisations and platforms that support high-quality, community-led open access journals.  Publishing partners play a central role in hosting, managing, and developing journals within the collective while contributing to a shared infrastructure and governance model.

We are pleased to open applications for new publishing partners to join our community.  OJC seeks partners committed to equitable, sustainable and community-governed scholarly publishing, with a particular focus on diamond open-access models.  

Successful applicants will become part of the OJC community, with opportunities to be part of our collaborative governance, benefit from our collective voice and influence, and apply to bring diamond open access journals into OJC's collections through future application rounds.

Please note that this process is for publishing organisations only to apply to join OJC, and acceptance as a member does not automatically mean that an organisation's journals become part of OJC's collections.  Individual journals are not eligible to apply via this process.  There will be specific opportunities in the future for journals to apply to become part of OJC, which we will announce separately.
