KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal published by Ubiquity Press.[1] The journal was established in 2016 and is based at the University of Victoria Libraries in Victoria, BC, where Jonathan Bengtson, University Librarian, serves as the editor-in-chief.[2] The journal’s objective is to publish multidisciplinary scholarship about human knowledge processes throughout history, particularly in the context of advancements in digital technologies, which provide new modes of support for the production, dissemination, and preservation of knowledge.[3] The journal considers, for example, issues such as how available technologies are repurposed to address scholarly needs; how the nature of scholarship evolves under the impact of technology; how resources should be deployed to enable individuals and institutions to benefit from new technologies; and how to ensure the long-term preservation of knowledge in a digital context.
KULA is an online-only journal that accepts submissions and publishes research articles, methods articles, teaching reflections, project reports, commentaries, and reviews on a rolling basis.

The first part, “Methodologies of Understanding and Enacting Open Scholarship,” was guest edited by J. Matthew Huculak, and the second part, “Beyond Open: Implementing Social Scholarship,” was guest edited by Alyssa Arbuckle, Luis Meneses, and Raymond G. Siemens.[6]
