Requirements

Recommended server requirements

• PHP >= 5.3.7
• MySQL >= 4.1.1 (including MySQL 5.x) or PostgreSQL >= 9.1.5
• 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 OMP 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 OMP; 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 OMP (config.inc.php) to use SHA1 hashing rather than MD5.
• Configure OMP (config.inc.php) to use force_ssl_login so that authenticated users communicate with the server via HTTPS.
• Install OMP so that the files directory is NOT a subdirectory of the OMP 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

OMP is an open source software platform for managing the editorial workflow required to see monographs, edited volumes and, scholarly editions through internal and external review, editing, cataloguing, production, and publication. OMP will operate, as well, as a press website with catalog, distribution, and sales capacities.

OMP is designed to assist university presses, learned societies, and scholar-publishers interested in publishing scholarly books in print-on-demand and multiple electronic formats, whether on an open access or purchase basis. As with all PKP software, OMP can be downloaded for free and installed on a local webserver or it can be hosted by PKP Publishing Services.

Among the many features of OMP is its ability to ...

• Handle edited volumes, with different authors for each chapter;
• Involve editors, authors, reviewers, designers, indexers, and others in book production;
• See submission through multiple rounds of both internal and external reviews;
• Utilize industry standard ONIX for bookseller metadata requirements (e.g., Amazon);
• Create document libraries for submissions, recording contracts, permissions, etc.;
• Handle thumbnail covers in Catalog, as well as Spotlight features;
• Enable Series Editors to see books through review to publication.

OMP is a completely new software tool from the Public Knowledge Project. It has been redesigned from the ground up to take advantage of Web 2.0 technologies. As part of OMP’s release strategy, PKP will be working closely with several early adopters who will use OMP in a production environment. This will garner immediate feedback and further improvements to OMP and also inform a redesign of Open Journal Systems and Open Conference Systems, which will drawn on a common PKP Web Library.

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.
