Open Journal Systems
Open Journal Systems, an open source tool for journal publishers is now available. It uses the OAI-PMH standard.
Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system that has been developed by the Public Knowledge Project through its federally funded efforts to expand and improve access to research. OJS assists with every stage of the refereed publishing process, from submissions through to online publication and indexing. Through its management systems, its finely grained indexing of research, and the context it provides for research, OJS seeks to improve both the scholarly and public quality of referred research. OJS is open source software made freely available to journals worldwide for the purpose of making open access publishing a viable option for more journals, as open access can increase a journal's readership as well as its contribution to the public good on a global scale (see PKP Publications).Features (See Handout for details)Online Submission of Articles, Reviews, and other ItemsOnline Management for Each Stage of PublishingComprehensive Indexing of Each Article PublishedResearch Support Tool for Each Article PublishedEmail Notification and Commentary for Readers
