Maryna Nazarovets<p><strong>University Journals and Their Place in Global Scholarly Publishing</strong></p><p>University journals (UJs) – scholarly periodicals published or supported by higher education institutions – form an essential yet often overlooked part of the global scholarly publishing ecosystem. Frequently non-commercial and multilingual, they are embedded in local academic cultures. As a result, they help circulate knowledge within national contexts and in disciplines underrepresented in mainstream publishing.</p><p></p><p>Yet, UJs remain systematically underrepresented in global indexing databases and largely absent from research assessment frameworks.</p><p>A <a href="https://www.tib.eu/en/research-development/project-overview/project-summary/universitaetszeitschriften" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">research project</a> funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG; project number 541976107) has been investigating the role of UJs in global scholarly communication. It combines metadata analysis, bibliometric mapping, and qualitative research into editorial and publishing practices. The goal is to better understand the challenges UJs face in a publishing environment dominated by a few major commercial players.</p><p><strong>First results: university journals in previous research</strong></p><p>The first peer-reviewed outcome of the project has now been published in <em>Insights: the UKSG journal</em> <a href="https://doi.org/10.1629/uksg.705" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1629/uksg.705</a></p>Overlapping coverage of research on university journals across major scholarly databases. None of the sources offers complete coverage alone.<p>The semi-systematic literature review draws on 105 studies selected from a pool of over 10,000 records retrieved from Dimensions Plus, OpenAlex, Scopus, and Web of Science. This broad search enabled coverage across multiple languages, disciplines, and regions. Consequently, it provided the first structured overview of how UJs are conceptualised in academic literature.</p><p><strong>Among the key findings:</strong></p><ul><li>Interest in UJs has risen and fallen over time – with notable peaks in 2007, 2010, and again in 2022–2023.</li><li>The reviewed publications were written in 12 languages, with English and Spanish being the most common. Others included Portuguese, Arabic, Indonesian, Ukrainian, and more. Clearly, a significant portion of the debate around UJs happens outside anglophone spaces. However, the lack of English keywords in titles and abstracts unfortunately limits the ability to search for the actual number of non-English publications.</li><li>Many studies focus on specific countries – most frequently China, followed by the US, UK, Spain and Brazil. Others examine regional or global perspectives, especially in Latin America and Europe.</li><li>Thematic diversity is high: how editorial boards are formed, how peer review works (or doesn’t), how journals are funded, where they’re indexed, and what platforms they use. In addition, several studies address ethical issues such as editorial bias and conflicts of interest.</li></ul><p><strong>What’s missing?</strong> Comparative data. Cross-national dialogue. Theory. Most of the existing work is descriptive and focused on single cases. Few studies offer a bigger picture – and that’s exactly where this project steps in.</p><p><strong>From review to mapping: building the bigger picture</strong></p><p>With the literature review completed, the project has moved into its second phase: a global mapping of UJs.</p><p>To support this, the preparatory studies were conducted:</p>Metadata availability in the host_organization field for 43 selected university journals indexed in OpenAlex. Only a small fraction include institutional affiliation data.<ul><li>A cross-database comparison of UJs from ten countries revealed substantial inconsistencies in coverage. This shows the limitations of relying on any single indexing source.</li><li>A metadata analysis of OpenAlex found that most journals were indexed. However, only a few included valid publisher affiliation metadata. This confirms the need to combine multiple sources.</li></ul><p>These studies laid the groundwork for a comprehensive mapping of over 19,000 UJs, using integrated metadata from Ulrichsweb, DOAJ, OpenAlex, ISSN, Scopus, and Web of Science. The dataset includes information on countries, institutions, languages, access models, subject areas, and indexing coverage – and will serve as a baseline for comparative analysis in later stages.</p><p><strong>What’s next?</strong></p><p>The upcoming phases of the project will include:</p><ul><li>Finalising and publishing the global mapping of UJs;</li><li>Producing comparative analyses of national university publishing ecosystems;</li><li>Conducting interviews with editors of selected journals to explore governance, infrastructure, and sustainability;</li><li>Developing recommendations for policy, infrastructure, and research evaluation reform.</li></ul><p>Together, these efforts aim to better understand whether – and under what conditions – UJs can meaningfully contribute to global scholarly communication. Rather than focusing on visibility alone, the project examines whether UJs can offer sustainable, inclusive, and credible alternatives to dominant commercial publishing models.</p> Nazarovets, M.
