The OJS Network brings the community together around Open Journal Systems (OJS), the free and open-source publishing software developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). The OJS Network creates new opportunities for exchange, connects existing initiatives, and increases their visibility. The aim is to create synergies and promote the collaborative use of OJS.
The OJS Network supports existing institutional, non-commercial services and initiatives, as well as researchers, by facilitating the exchange of ideas and mutual support and collaboration. With its focus on OJS, the OJS Network is aimed at individuals involved in institutional publishing (the community of practice) who use OJS in their work or actively contribute to its further development. The OJS Network is part of SeDOA’s Community Support.
The activities of the OJS Network aim to strengthen Diamond Open Access within the OJS community, as well as promoting and disseminating Diamond Open Access publishing with OJS. SeDOA supports existing networks, stakeholders, and individual initiatives in implementing Diamond Open Access within their publishing services and offerings. These synergies thus contribute to sustainable improvements in the quality of OJS-based services.
