Open Journal Systems: The Digitization of Academic Journals

Abstract: More and more library publishers are using Open Journal Systems (OJS), Open Monograph Press (OMP), and Open Preprint Systems (OPS) developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). Out of these three sub-projects, OJS stands out. The goal of the highly adaptable and scalable architecture of OJS is to not only enhance the publication process, but also to promote academic journals by increasing readership, creating a space for scientific conversation, improving publication quality, and encouraging open access to scientific research. The software is released under the GPLv2 license, which means it can be freely downloaded, used, and modified if necessary
