About OJS
Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system which assists with every stage of the refereed publishing process, from submissions through to online publication and indexing. OJS seeks to improve both the scholarly and public quality of refereed research t hrough its management systems, its finely grained indexing of research, and the context it provides for research. Open access can increase a journal’s readership as well as its contribution to the public good on a global scale (see PKP Publications).

OJS includes automated creation and submission of DOIs, management of reviews and publishing finished papers. Managing an OJS journal is of moderate complexity. A reasonable level of system administration skill is required to install and maintain the system, and work around possible problems. While OJS is mostly used for open access journals, the system has support for charging access fees and managing subscribers.
