_Free/OpenSource /LowCost Journal Management Software?_ For a future eProfile for my _Library Hi Tech News_ column, I am greatly interested in learning of Any and All Free/OpenSource/LowCost Journal Management Software/Systems Among the software/systems I have identified are epress [ http://www.epress.ac.uk/ ] "The epress journal management system helps editors and publishers of academic journals organise the flow of submissions, book reviews and journal issues. It is a web-based system which means that editors and publishers can work anywhere in the world where there is Internet access. The system prompts users through all the stages of journal administration, from selecting and inviting referees, chasing late reports, sending decision letters to authors, to publishing an issue. Although primarily deigned for managing electronic journals, it is also invaluable for conventional paper-based journals.

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 ...
