About Journal Publishing
What kind of journals does USF include in Digital Commons?
The USF Libraries hosts peer-reviewed, fully open access journals with a global and interdisciplinary focus. Our current support focuses on projects with direct links to the University of South Florida through its faculty, students, programs, centers, or institutes as well as align with the strategic initiatives of the USF Library. Digital Commons @ USF does not host journals with embargo periods. As a service to the research community, the USF Libraries' commitment to true open access to scholarly information extends to authors. This means that there are no article or submission charges for journals hosted or published in Digital Commons.
How can I get started publishing an Open Access journal with the USF Libraries?
We are currently not accepting new applications for Open Access journals. Please contact us at to discuss alternative OA publishing options.
What are the current strategic areas of interest for the USF Library?
Beginning in 2020, the USF Libraries focuses on the topics of Environment and Natural History and local Tampa history. For other topical areas, contact us to discuss alternative OA publishing options.
What does it mean to publish an open access journal?
Readers with access to the Internet can access your content at no cost to themselves or to their institutions. It allows researchers from any organization to participate in scholarly activities without barriers.
How will people find your journal?
Digital Commons @ USF is on the bepress Digital Commons platform (https://www.bepress.com/products/digital-commons/) and is optimized to provide higher results through search engines. Once your journal has published enough content to qualify for inclusion in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the USF Libraries will complete the application to have your journal listed there. If provided with the username and password for a journal in DOAJ, the USF Libraries will load content for each article to ensure that the journal is fully indexed.
In addition, the USF Libraries is a member of CrossRef and assigns DOIs for journal articles. CrossRef is a citation-linking network and the official DOI link registration agency for scholarly and professional publications.
Will the library get copyright permissions for images and other material that authors include in their articles?
No, authors must obtain those permissions themselves. However, if they need guidance from the library, we are happy to answer any questions that we can.
Who retains rights to the journal content?
We encourage editors to allow authors to use a Creative Commons License, specifically a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license. This license allows anyone to reproduce or disseminate articles for non-commercial purposes, so long as the original authors and source are cited. After publication, authors have the right to post pre-print or post-print versions of their article online, including on their personal, departmental, or institutional repository pages.
Is the journal content backed up anywhere? USF retains a backup copy of the journal content, and because the Digital Commons @ USF journals reside on the Digital Commons platform, bepress duplicates and backs up the content both on and offsite from their side. Once the journal has begun publishing in earnest, we work with LOCKSS and Portico to have your content archived. Additionally, a full site backup is maintained with Amazon Web Services S3.
What if I want print copies of my journal?
Digital Commons does not provide printing or mailing services. We suggest that you use a Print on Demand service for these materials. Rather than estimating how many copies of a particular item should be printed in a print run, a journal issue/book/proceeding/etc. is only printed upon request. This method eliminates problems including the burden of paying for unsold inventory or printing too few items.
Print on Demand takes the guesswork out of printing. You simply prepare a single file (usually PDF), submit it to the Print on Demand publisher, and it is stored until an issue is ordered by a customer. It is only at this point that ink touches paper. Contact the for more information.

Journal of Public Transportation (Open Access Journals)
ISSN: 1077-291X
Starting with the first issue of 2022, the Journal of Public Transportation will be published by Elsevier, a leading publisher of transportation research. Click here to find the new Editorial Manager paper submission site.
The Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida launched the journal in 1996. Since then, it has established itself as an important resource in its field. The journal has steadily built up a substantial community of readers, reviewers and authors. Submissions and published papers are at a healthy level. Its quality has been recognized by its inclusion as a Web of Science journal (with its associated Impact Factor) and it has a loyal following among practitioners as well as researchers.
When the journal began, its Open Access model was unusual, but it is now commonplace. Meanwhile, Elsevier has embraced Open Access and now has a growing family of other Open Access journals in transportation research. We therefore feel confident that this is the right moment to entrust the journal to Elsevier to enable it to grow, develop further, and serve its community even better.
Thank you to all our authors, reviewers, readers and editors.

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience (M3 Center at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee)
ISSN: 2744-3620
The Journal of Sustainability and Resilience (JSR) (ISSN:2744-3620) is an online open-access biannual peer-reviewed publication that covers current issues in tourism concerning sustainability and resilience of the industry in light of global shocks and trends, exploring their effects on communities and businesses. Amidst the global pandemic, there is a growing call for a responsible recovery in the tourism industry, which holds worldwide significance and impacts at the local, regional, national, and international levels. The pandemic has acted as a catalyst, affecting both macro and micro aspects and crossing various sectors.
Rebranding:: The Journal of Sustainability and Resilience (JSR) (ISSN 2744-3620) has been rebranded and is now published under the title Journal of Tourism Regeneration (ISSN 3021-3584). This rebranding reflects a strategic shift to focus more specifically on the evolving field of regenerative tourism, addressing the need for research and discourse on sustainable practices that go beyond minimising harm to actively restoring and revitalising tourism destinations. By transitioning to the Journal of Tourism Regeneration, the publication aims to highlight innovative strategies, policies, and case studies that contribute to environmental restoration, community well-being, and economic resilience within the tourism sector. This transformation aligns with global trends in sustainable development and offers a dedicated platform for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to explore and advance regenerative tourism practices.
Call for Papers: The journal seeks to establish a connection and dialogue between tourism academics and practitioners. We invite scholarly papers that examine the historical knowledge of the crisis, and how the tourism system can rebound and return to normal. Is it paramount that to achieve tourism recovery, the industry must re-establish a responsible approach by visitors and adopt sustainable and resilience planning practices at various destinations?
While acknowledging the critical nature of the topic, we encourage papers to present opportunities for hope, regeneration, and the potential for transformation within the tourism sector. Academics and industry representatives are invited to contribute theoretical and empirical research that addresses the implications of their work.

Rebranding : The Journal of Tourism Regeneration (ISSN 3021-3584) was formerly published under the title Journal of Sustainability and Resilience (JSR) (ISSN 2744-3620). This rebranding reflects a strategic shift to focus more specifically on the evolving field of regenerative tourism, addressing the need for research and discourse on sustainable practices that go beyond minimising harm to actively restoring and revitalising tourism destinations. By transitioning to the Journal of Tourism Regeneration, the publication aims to highlight innovative strategies, policies, and case studies that contribute to environmental restoration, community well-being, and economic resilience within the tourism sector. This transformation aligns with global trends in sustainable development and offers a dedicated platform for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to explore and advance regenerative tourism practices.
