Open Journal Systems

Open Journal Systems is free and open source software developed by the Public Knowledge Project and released under GNU General Public Licence. It is for the management of peer-reviewed academic journals.

Open Journal Systems (OJS) is an open source solution to managing and publishing journals online. It is a highly flexible editor-operated journal management and publishing system that can be downloaded for free and installed on a local web server. It has been designed to reduce the time and energy devoted to the clerical and managerial tasks associated with editing a journal, while improving the record-keeping and efficiency of editorial processes.

OJS uses a comprehensive roles system to divide work between users, assign workflows, and limit access to different parts of the system. Since one installation of OJS can host multiple journals, users can be enrolled in different roles for more than one journal.
