Before a new journal is created, the requestor or journal editor must:
- Agree to the Memorandum of Understanding (content of the agreement is found under Policies of Journals@UIC)
- Journals will usually be created within 48 hours. The time for setup and customization may be longer if fee-based services were contracted.
Following the creation of a journal, the journal editor(s) must:
- Attend an instructional session on using Journals@UIC with the Journals@UIC administrator. This will last one to two hours. Please invite all the appropriate individuals to attend. An online meeting room can be used to accommodate remote attendance.
- Configure the journal and begin steps to implement its use. The library reserves the right to delete a journal if no action to configure or implement a journal occurs within six months of creation.
