OJS stands for Open Journal System. Admittedly, it is an extensively used open-source journal publishing platform.

More specifically, with over 10,000 journals using it worldwide. Therefore, OJS Development has been in trend for publishing workflow. Now let's take a gander at the benefits of OJS that you can acquire by using OJS for organizing and publishing journals.

Articles Submission & Management

OJS is best when it concerns online articles submission and journal articles management. For instance, content distribution at the global level and single-blind and double-blind peer reviews.

(Single-blind peer review: Authors don't know the reviewers, but the reviewers know who the authors are. Double-blind peer review: None of the authors and reviewers know each other's name or associations.)

Export of data 

It offers a variety of incredible exporting tools and Import/Export plugins. That being said, exporting article(s) data to third-party agencies, databases, and systems become easy—for instance, the agencies and databases like CrossRef, PubMed, ORCID, DOAJ, etc.

Content Discovery 

Content discovery is about helping users find what they need more efficiently and instantly (according to each user's past behavior and personal preferences). Thankfully, Open Journal System is already optimized for content discovery across search engines like Google, Google Scholar, etc. In addition, it offers all-inclusive indexing of the journals.

OJS Payment Module 

Furthermore, in the benefits of OJS are the payments. Considering the viability of OJS, it is not only used for open access journals, but its system also supports the payment module for the journals with charging access fees and subscribers' management.

Scholarly Content Archiving

Articles archiving helps organize the content that you no longer use regularly. It refers to preserving the information and allowing it to be only accessible via search and not being prominent anymore. 

OJS serves as a secure place for archiving and maintaining all the scholarly content making it an excellent choice for open access journals. 

OJS Editorial Workflow 

The editorial process includes the steps taken for publishing a piece of content, like an article or blog post. That is, you can configure the discussions, research, and writing for the conducted research from ideation to promotion.

For instance, the OJS 3.x comes with a dynamic and more flexible editorial workflow on top of that with easy customization.

JATS XML Support 

Articles visibility and readership matter a lot. Typically, the format to model the articles is "JATS" XML format. Therefore, to streamline your journals and articles' visibility and readership, OJS supports JATS XML standardization.

Front-End & Themes

OJS has a perfectly responsive reader front-end interface and a variety of free themes for websites.

Language

OJS is multilingual; you can translate the content into 30+ languages smoothly.
