Coalition Publica partners Érudit and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) have been calling for applications by scholarly journals wishing to be disseminated on Érudit’s platform as of January 2024, in order to benefit from services for journals, including financial support through the Partnership for Open Access.

The deadline to apply has been extended to Monday, April 10, 2023 – journals should apply before this date to be considered for 2024 and journals that apply after this date may be considered for the following year. The application itself takes about 1-2 hours and contains very short answer, check box, and text fields (e.g., copy and paste existing information from journal website into form).

As part of Coalition Publica, the partnership between Érudit and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), this call is also open to scholarly journals that use PKP’s Open Journal Systems (OJS).
