Consulting
We are happy to talk with you about our publishing services, or to consult with members of the Ohio State community on their publishing projects. We can help you think through the process of starting a journal or other publication, and can provide information on Open Access, copyright and authors' rights, and digital and new-model publishing.
If you have a specific topic or project in mind, please email us at libkbhelp@lists.osu.edu and include any pertinent information so that we are best able to answer any questions you might have. If you are thinking of starting a journal it may be helpful to look at our journal application form and journal policies before the meeting.
Please email libkbhelp@lists.osu.edu to schedule a meeting.
