University Science Journals - Editors' Meeting

Agnieszka Kranich-Lamczyk, administrator of the University Scientific Journals platform, organised a meeting on 9 April 2025, during which editors of journals published at the University of Gdańsk had the opportunity to discuss issues related to raising the quality of journals, exchange experiences and present activities that have proved successful in the context of, among other things, internationalising journals and attracting reviewers.

Agnieszka Kranich-Lamczyk presented the main assumptions of the draft regulation on listing publications of scientific monographs and scientific journals and peer-reviewed materials from international conferences, on the basis of which a new list of journals is to be created. She also presented the criteria according to which journals will be qualified in the databases taken into account by the Ministry in compiling the list.

Joanna Kamień, Director of the University of Gdańsk Publishing House, presented information on the support that journals can receive from the Publishing House.

The editors also had the opportunity to ask questions about the functionality of the OJS system, on which the journals platform is based, and to discuss its improvement and the introduction of modifications to facilitate more efficient search for files published on the platform.

The activity of the participants and the numerous questions indicate a great interest in the topic and suggest that this was the first in a series of meetings that will contribute to the joint improvement of journals and the space provided by the University Scientific Journals Platform.

Thank you for your participation in the meeting.
