DRGS OJS Training: Electronic Publishing Using Open Journal Systems
0 likes141 views
The document discusses using Open Journal Systems (OJS) to increase the online visibility of scholarly output from the University of Zambia (UNZA). It finds that UNZA's scholarly output is currently invisible online when compared to other institutions. OJS is presented as a free, open-source journal management and publishing system that could help publish and index UNZA journals online. Requirements for implementing OJS include hosting, installation, customization, and annual costs for hosting, ISSN/DOI registration, and system administration. Overall, the document argues that adopting OJS could help make UNZA's scholarly publications more discoverable and accessible online.
