OPEN JOURNAL SYSTEM (OJS)

Some Advantages of OJS

Open Journal Systems (OJS) is an open source software application for managing and publishing scholarly journals.

• Workflow– Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a content and workflow management system for peer-reviewed scholarly and scientific publi-cations. It’s like WordPress for journals

• Online – OJS lets authors submit, reviewers review, and editors edit – all online, from anywhere in the world

• Statistics – OJS keeps statistics. What’s your acceptance rate? How long does it take to review a submission? What’s your most popular article? Get to know your journal better

• Tracking – OJS follows an article from submission, through peer review, copyediting, layout editing, proofreading, and on to publication. Never lose track of an article again

• Global – OJS is used by over 20000 journals around the world, with translations into over 50 languages.

• Open Source – OJS is 100% open source software

• Indexed – OJS is automatically indexed in Google Scholar and provides tools for getting your content included in other databases

• Local – OJS can be run on your own web server or on a hosted server of your choice

• Supported – OJS is supported software. Get free support from community forums, online classes, and documentation, or paid custom support from us. You’re never on your own

• Customize – OJS is configurable to meet your needs. Add sections, change the look of your website, enable subscriptions or go open access

• Archieve –  OJS integrates with LOCKSS and Portico for digital preservation

Open source + open access is also giving rise to more equitable forms of scholarly publishing.
