Requirements

Recommended server requirements

PHP >= 4.2.x (including PHP 5.x); Microsoft IIS requires PHP 5.x
MySQL >= 4.1 or PostgreSQL >= 8.0 (including PostgreSQL 8.x)
Apache >= 1.3.2x or >= 2.0.4x or Microsoft IIS 6
Operating system: Any OS that supports the above software, including Linux, BSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows

As PKP does not have the resources to test every possible combination of
software versions and platforms, no guarantee of correct operation or support
is implied. We welcome feedback from users who have deployed OJS on systems other than those listed above.

Recommended Configuration

A secure deployment can be best achieved by using the following policies:

Dedicate a database to OJS; use unique credentials to access it.
Configure this database to perform automated backups on a regular basis. Perform a manual backup when upgrading or performing maintenance.
Configure OJS (config.inc.php) to use SHA1 hashing rather than MD5.
Configure OJS (config.inc.php) to use force_ssl_login so that authenticated users communicate with the server via HTTPS.
Install OJS so that the files directory is NOT a subdirectory of the OJS installation and cannot be accessed directly via the web server. Restrict file permissions as much as possible. Automated backups of this directory should be roughly synchronized with database backups.

Features

Open Journal Systems (OJS) is an open source solution to managing and publishing scholarly 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. It seeks to improve the scholarly and public quality of journal publishing through a number of innovations, from making journal policies more transparent to improving indexing.

OJS includes the following features:

OJS is installed locally and locally controlled.
Editors configure requirements, sections, review process, etc.
Online submission, double-blind review, and management of all content.
Subscription module with delayed open access and non-open access options.
Comprehensive indexing of content.
Reading Tools for content, based on field and editors’ choice.
Email notification and commenting ability for readers.
Complete context-sensitive online Help support.
Payments module for accepting journal fees, donations, etc..

Webmaster’s Rating

Tested & Working

This label indicates that I could install the script without major problems and I could run the script without the need for major modifications to the original code (except for the usual configuration, of course). The label does, on the other hand, not indicate that scripts without this label would not work properly. The missing of the „tested & working“-label just indicates that I did not yet test these scripts.

Webmaster’s Choice

This label indicates that the owner of this website uses this script / application for his own projects with success and satisfaction. This does, however, not indicate that these projects could not have been realized using other scripts / applications as well or that other scripts would not fit the demands of other projects as well or even better.
