Are you a UAF Researcher? Where have you published?Are you a UAF Researcher? Where have you published?

Our Libraries’ Open Access team launched the “Where have you published?” campaign to highlight and discover the diversity of scholarly journals in which UAF researchers publish their research. This campaign is an extension of our “Who publishes Open Access” marketing campaign from fall 2022.

Our hope is that this campaign will help researchers connect with new journals to further their research and amplify their scholarship. The data for this campaign was pulled from Dimensions, a global research information database. Dimensions collects data from a wide variety of sources, including Gold Open Access journals, Hybrid Open Access journals, journals with transformative agreements, and subscription journals.
