Open Source Software (OSS)(1)
• Developers highly skilled, self-motivated, peer recognition• Clean design, reliability, maintainability, standards,
interoperability• Community approach• Code available & transparent – no clever salesperson• No purchase, but resources to install, customize,
maintain• Versions released – keep to most recent stable version
Open Source Software (OSS)(2)
• No registration of licenses• Less vulnerable – viruses, downtime, loss of data,
security breaches, hacking• Self-empowerment – develop local skills – lifelong
self-learning• OJS Base URL available to harvesters/databases• Interoperability with systems such as ORCID,
Creative Commons, Crossref, DOAJ, Portico
Hosting Solutions
• Self-hosting on a server at home institution• Self-hosting on a server in the cloud e.g. with
Hetzner https://hetzner.co.za/ • PKP/OJS Publishing Services
https://pkpservices.sfu.ca/content/journal-hosting
Requirements for self-hosting
• PHP 4.2.x or later (including PHP 5.x) with MySQL or PostgreSQL support• A database server: MySQL 4.1 or later OR
PostgreSQL 8.0 or later• UNIX-like OS recommended (such as Linux, FreeBSD
, Solaris, Mac OS X, etc.) • Download OJS 2.4.8-1 (.tar.gz) (18 MB)• See https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ojs_download/
