How can Walewska Duran help you?

Her work helps you enjoy the articles published in the UOC's scholarly journals, which have become indispensable channels for communicating the University's expertise.

Walewska is publishing coordinator for the academic journal Digithum and for the general interest journals COMeIN, Mosaic and Oikonomics.

Publication of a new article is just the tip of the iceberg in the editorial process: it is the culmination of a long planning process to manage and organize –in case of scientific journals, control of peer reviews–, in order to guarantee the highest quality of the contents.

Affiliated with the UOC's Open Knowledge Plan, Walewska works to guarantee that the highest possible number of the UOC community's scientific publications are published in open access.
