Our mission

Scholarly infrastructure Nigerian research deserves.

Nigerian research is world-class. The infrastructure to publish, preserve and discover it should be too. JournalHub is our contribution to a sustainable diamond open-access ecosystem — one where authors and readers never pay, and journals remain in institutional hands.

  • Kotahi & the Coko Foundation

    JournalHub is built on Kotahi, an open-source scholarly publishing platform from the Coko Foundation. Kotahi provides the submission, review, production and publishing engine that JournalHub extends.

  • LIBSENSE ECR programme

    The LIBSENSE Early Career Researcher programme supplies facilitators and contributors who support platform testing, content curation and community building.

  • Nigerian universities & funders

    JournalHub is designed with institutional stakeholders — universities, TETFund, and policymakers shaping the national open-access roadmap — as core partners.

  • Open standards community

    ORCID, Crossref, JATS, DOAJ — JournalHub commits to the standards that keep scholarly infrastructure interoperable and durable.
