The Anatomy of a Journal: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How
No full textThose working in the library and information sector are familiar with journals as readers, authors, reviewers, trainers and collection managers. In 2025, the Irish Health Sciences Libraries Group committee took the next step and became a publisher. The basic process will be familiar to anyone who has developed a new service as it involved translating ideas into practical goals, policies, workflows and other necessary tasks to create a useful, reputable product. In this article we reveal why we embarked on this project, how we dealt with challenges, and what knowledge, skills and resources were needed to fulfil our aim of creating a free forum to share our collective professional knowledge. We hope that the lessons learned along the way will be of interest to those producing similar products or services
UCC Student Journal Vol1
No full textOn the 11th of April, members of the UCC History Society, contributors from Cork and Galway, their friends, and academics of UCC attended the launch of the inaugural volume of the UCC Student History Journal at the Liberty Cocktail Bar. In their addresses, Vice Editor in Chief Daniel A. O\u27 Connell and Chairperson-elect Becky Bourke provided the journal, its editorial team, and its contributors with overwhelming praise. In his address, Dr Hiram Morgan, UCC School of History, reflected on the vastly interesting topics and high quality of discourse found within the first volume. Dr Morgan also led attendees of the launch with a moment of silence for the recently passed Professor Chris Williams, a cherished and distinguished figure of UCC.
Although the UCC History Society has faced many hardships in recent years, Daniel A. O\u27 Connell and Becky Bourke offered sincere tribute to former Chairperson Richard Keyes-McDonnell, current Chairperson James Powers, and their committees. Without their efforts, the UCC Student History Journal would have lacked vital support for its success. Furthermore, Becky Bourke provided awards to distinct contributors to the journal for their incredible efforts. Emma Ní Muirthile, Vice Editor in Chief, received the Award for Editorial Excellency for her deeply impactful design and editing of the Journal. Frank Rogers, UCC Student, received the Award for Best Written Article. Jacob Conneelly, Auditor of an Cumann Stair at the University of Galway, received the Award for Best Topic
