About this workshop

The programme will be divided into five segments namely publishing via the gold route, and introduction to OJS, the creation of a title using OJS and tips and finer points and, dissemination and discoverability.

Segment 1

In terms of the first segment, attendees will be exposed to the fact that ‘self-publishing or hosting’ still retains the rigour associated with high quality journal publications/output.

Segment 2

The second segment will focus on the introduction of OJS as an alternate method of publishing journals via an open access platform.

Segment 3

The third segment, which will be the core of the workshop, will be hands on training on creating a journal title using OJS. Attendees would have the benefit of engaging with experts on the software to set-up their title. Attendees will also be presented with a ‘do-it-yourself type’ manual for easy adoption and application.

Segment 4

The fourth segment will be covered by the originators of the software and share some of the intricate capabilities.

Segment 5

The last segment will examine tools and processes that will facilitate dissemination and discoverability of content that is now available through an open access forum.
