What Is Open Journal Systems?

Open Journal Systems, also commonly referred to as OJS, is a software solution used to manage peer-reviewed academic journals. OJS was created to provide a solution to not only display these academic journals online, but also provide a more streamlined editing and publishing workflow. This workflow includes the actual submission of the articles, each of the rounds of peer-reviews and the article indexing. Open Journal Systems offers a number of customizable roles to help facilitate this streamlined process. These roles include the reviewers, the academic journal's manager, the journal reader and a number of others. OJS also offers a mature plugin architecture allowing users to add features, extend and customize their install to their particular needs.

OJS Features

OJS' wide range of features is just one of the reasons it is such a popular solution. Here are just some of the benefits that Open Journal Systems users enjoy.

• Intuitive Workflow - OJS offers an easily understandable workflow to move content through the four editorial stages. The first stage is Submissions, where new content is managed. The second stage is Review, where edits and revisions of the content occur. The next stage is Copyediting. This is where the content is checked for accuracy and to ensure that it is consistent. The fourth and final stage is Production. This crucial stage is where the final copy is saved into a number of different formats including HTML and PDF. The Production stage is also where the article is scheduled to be published. Not interested in using one of thoese steps? You can easily skip a step within the Open Journal Systems interface making it possible for OJS to meet your team's workflow needs.
• Intuitive Discussions - OJS makes it easy to track discussions. In fact, the discussions work very much like a forum does, offering functionality that users are probably already familiar with. Open Journal Systems offers discussions for each of the editorial stages. That means users can easily participate when submitting, reviewing, editing or publishing an article. Each user can generate a new topic while at the same time invite other members to participate in the discussion. An email is sent when a new message is posted within OJS. Each user can then easily respond to the discussion within the OJS interface.
• Robuts Plugin System - OJS has a high powered plugin system very similar to the one found in WordPress. That is, the plugin system allows OJS users to easily extend their install without having to edit the actual code base. In short, OJS is easy to customize to a user's particular needs. Just some of he most used OJS plugins include an ATOM/RSS feed plugin as well as a counter plugin providing both reports and statistics.
• Role Management - OJS offers a number of pre-configured roles with specific permissions as well as customizable roles with permissions you can set yourself. From journal management to journal editing, OJS puts you in control of the roles you need.
