Through eScholarship@UMMS, the Lamar Soutter Library can help departments publish their own open access journals or newsletters. The repository software was originally designed for electronic publishing and includes a peer-review and editorial management system. Currently the Library hosts open access electronic journals for the Departments of Neurology, Psychiatry, Radiology, the UMass Center for Clinical and Translational Science, and our own library science journal.
