• editing, selecting and gaining the documents to the Lublin University of Technology Digital Library;
• substantive supervision over digitization of the collection;

The changes occurring in the world of science and electronic publishing becoming more and more common encouraged the Publishing House to receive the publishing dualism.

 Journals

Since 2019 the editorial process of six journals belonging to Lublin University of Technology has been taking place on the Internet platform named Lublin University of Technology Publishing House (Open Journal Systems), where following titles were placed: ‘Budownictwo i Architektura’ (‘Civil Engineering and Architecture’), ‘Informatyka, Automatyka, Pomiary w Gospodarce i Ochronie Środowiska’ – IAPGOŚ (‘Informatics, Control, Measurement in Economy and Environmental Protection’), ‘Journal of Technology and Exploitation in Mechanical Engineering’ (JTEME), ‘Journal of Computer Sciences Institute’ (JCSI), ‘Teka Komisji Architektury, Urbanistyki i Studiów Krajobrazowych’ (‘Commission of Architecture, Urban Planning and Landscape Studies’) and ‘Ochrona Dziedzictwa Kulturowego’ – ODK (‘Protection of Cultural Heritage’).

Thanks to this undertaking a uniform workspace for the journals has been created, a common publishing policy has been built on open access model and the publishing ethics has been based on the guidelines by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Since the moment the Publishing House platform started off, its journals have been sharing their articles on Creative Commons license – CC BY-SA 4.0 PL. A fully open journal publishing on CC BY licence were JTEME and ACS. From 2024, all our journals publish under the CC BY 4.0 Int license.

In 2019 the Lublin University of Technology Publishing House signed the Membership Agreement with the Crossref Organization, which allows the journals functioning on the LUT PH platform in the OJS to assign the DOI numbers, and verify the manuscripts by using the anti-plagiarism system Crossref Similiarity Check (powered by Ithenticate).

Editorial offices interested in implementation on our e-platform can contact with the LUT PH coordinator, Elżbieta Nazaruk, PhD, (e.nazaruk@pollub.pl).

 Other journals published by the Lublin University of Technology

The Lublin University of Technology Publishing House has also linked the LUT PH platform homepage with other journals published by the Lublin University of Technology. However, these journals possess their own systems of the publishig services: ‘Advances in Science and Technology. Research Journal’ (ASTRJ), ‘Journal of Ecological Engineering’ (JEE), ‘Ecological Engineering & Environmental Technology’ (EEET). By clicking on one of these journals, the reader is not connecting with the LUT PH system, but with the individual website of the given journal.

We invite you to see the offer of the Lublin University of Technology Publishing House and our journals.
