JournalServer is an Oxford-based international initiative to create a digital library of academic journals freely available to the public. It involves the collaboration of several leading universities across the world. As of May, 2007, there were 8 journals listed, of which only 5 had any actual content available. JournalServer assists peer-reviewed academic journals to be accessible free of cost, and to promote the use of these journals by the international community. The project objectives are (Wiki article 2009):
 |
To promote access to peer-reviewed journals by means of a digital library of scholarly publications freely |
| available through the Internet. | |
|
To assist scholars and publishers from low and middle income countries in making the transition to electronic |
| modes of publication and dissemination. | |
|
The cost and complexity of making the upgrade is constrained to a small subset of the overall network. |
|
To strive to reduce the impact of the digital divide and the scholarly communication crisis. |
