Libraries play a crucial role in providing access to scholarly literature and supporting research in their respective institutions. Many academic libraries maintain collections of electronic journals to provide their patrons with easy and convenient access to the latest research in their fields. Research librarians may also play a role in identifying and promoting new journals to their patrons.
To help librarians evaluate and select journals for their collections, many journals now provide various metrics, including impact factors and article-level metrics, to demonstrate the quality and influence of their content. Additionally, some journals may offer institutional subscription plans or discounts to libraries that support their publication.
Libraries may also be interested in collaborating with journals in various ways, such as hosting journal content on their institutional repositories or partnering in the development of new publishing models. Many journals now use open source publishing systems, such as Open Journal Systems (OJS), that enable libraries to host and manage their own electronic journals. This can be an attractive option for libraries that want to support faculty members who are involved in editing and publishing journals.
Overall, the Brazilian Journal of Law, Technology and Innovation welcomes the support and engagement of research librarians. We encourage librarians to list our journal among their electronic holdings and to explore opportunities for collaboration and partnership. By working together, we can ensure that the latest research on the intersection of law, technology, and innovation is widely available and accessible to scholars and researchers around the world (see Open Journal Systems).
