Janeway, developed by Birkbeck University, is a nimble and fast-developing open-source journal publishing platform whose mission is to contribute to transforming the scholarly publishing ecosystem. As part of the PublishOA.ie project (led by the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College Dublin), Janeway was evaluated among eleven other journal publishing platforms and trialled alongside OJS and Kotahi.
DCU Library will host the 2nd Janeway Symposium on May 21st and 22nd, 2026 - a gathering of Janeway users and non-users - on its Glasnevin Campus.
While Janeway may not feature widely in the Irish journal publishing landscape, we want to encourage and invite the Irish library, academic and open access communities to actively contribute through presentations, round tables, posters, or workshops on themes such as perspectives on scholar-led publishing, peer review practices, and open data in research publications and dissemination, among other topics.
The value of contributing a presentation and/or attending the symposium is the opportunity to critically interrogate existing journal publishing practices and to collaboratively engage with innovative and transformative approaches. Attendance is free of charge, and you're invited to sign up here.
[Confirmed keynote]: Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Interim Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies and Professor of English at Michigan State University.
Please send abstracts of 250 words or questions to Andy Byers (Director of Publishing Technology at Janeway) at a.byers[at]bbk.ac.uk and Joan Kwaske (Senior Digital Publishing Coordinator) at jkwaske[at]umich.edu. Please submit abstracts by the 9th of January 2026.
