For Institutions & Funders

Shared publishing infrastructure for Nigerian research.

JournalHub is a Datasphir-led initiative to establish a shared, community-driven journal publishing platform for Nigerian universities and research institutions — supporting a sustainable diamond open-access ecosystem.

Why institutions choose JournalHub

Value for universities, funders and policymakers.

  1. Shared national infrastructure

    One platform any Nigerian institution can bring a journal onto — pooled cost, pooled governance, pooled discoverability.

  2. Aligned with the OA roadmap

    Diamond open access supports the national and continental push for equitable, sustainable open scholarship.

  3. Institutional visibility

    Research from your institution becomes globally findable through JATS-standard metadata and Crossref registration.

  4. No APCs for your researchers

    Remove the financial barrier that keeps early-career and underfunded researchers from publishing in reputable venues.

  5. Governance & accountability

    Role-based access, editorial audit trails and a transparent pilot process built for institutional oversight.

  6. Built by Datasphir

    A Nigerian company building structured digital infrastructure for African publishing, research and knowledge systems.
