[needs-packaging] Open Journal Systems

Package request for Open Journal Systems

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.

Notes: We release roughly every six months or so, with the next release around April or May. We have two other platforms (Open Conference Systems and OAI Harvester) that I may request be packaged in separate bug reports. Please contact me if you have any questions.
