NTNU Universitetsbiblioteket er med på å støtte Open Access-plattformen Open Library of Humanities, som for tiden huser 20 tidsskrifter innen humaniora. Alle disse har dobbel blind fagfellevurdering.
Flere av disse tidsskriftene er relevante for litteraturvitere, og det kan være interessant for ISLs forskere å vurdere disse for egne publikasjoner. Slik NTNUs publiseringspolitikk 2014–2020 slår fast skal «vitenskapelige publikasjoner fra NTNUs forskere [som hovedregel] publiseres […] åpent (Open Access)». Å publisere i rene Open Access-tidsskrifter, slik OLHs titler er, utgjør én av flere måter å oppnå dette målet på.
For at det skal være attraktivt å publisere i et OA-tidsskrift, er det for forskere ved norske institusjoner viktig at det aktuelle tidsskriftet er registrert på nivå 1 eller 2 i NSDs nasjonale registeret over vitenskapelige publiseringskanaler. Noen av titlene i OLH (se nedenfor) er inkludert i registeret, mens andre ennå ikke er blitt meldt inn. For at det skal finnes gode muligheter for åpen publisering, er det viktig at forskerne selv bidrar til å melde inn aktuelle tidsskrifter. Slik innmelding kan gjøres her.
På sikt vil det også kunne bli aktuelt å foreslå enkelte tidsskrifter inn på nivå 2.
I en særstilling står tidsskriftet med samme navn som plattformen, Open Library of Humanities. Det er bygd som en såkalt ‘megajournal’, etter modell av det prestisjetunge, naturvitenskapelige PlosOne. Open Library of Humanities publiserer tverrfaglig humanistisk forskning, også på andre språk enn engelsk, og er på nivå 1 i NSDs register.
De andre aktuelle tidsskriftene i OLH for litteraturvitere er:
