The Saint Mary’s University Online Journals (SMU-OJ) serve as the official digital platform for disseminating scholarly publications of Saint Mary’s University (SMU). It hosts a collection of institutional and multidisciplinary journals managed by various departments, academic units, and research centers within the University.
The platform promotes academic excellence, innovation, and ethical scholarship by providing a venue for the publication and open-access distribution of quality research outputs. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous editorial and review process, including proposal and defense evaluation, critique by qualified panel members, and ethical clearance approval.
Through SMU-OJ, the University ensures that the intellectual contributions of its faculty, students, and collaborators are accessible, discoverable, and preserved for global readership and future research reference. Each journal under the platform is managed by its respective research coordinator or editorial board, with technical guidance and oversight from the University Research Center (URC).
