*Dear Colleagues*
**
FYI & Use..
*What is the 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 (see PKP Publications http://pkp.ubc.ca/publications/).
*Features*
1. OJS is installed locally and locally controlled.
2. Editors configure requirements, sections, review process, etc.
3. Online submission and management of all content.
4. Subscription module with delayed open access options.
5. Comprehensive indexing of content part of global system.
