Overview

What OJS Journal Ready Kit does for you

Starting a journal usually means weeks of figuring out OJS settings, writing policies from scratch and fixing email problems. The OJS Journal Ready Kit packages everything we have learned from setting up journals into a ready configuration: sensible sections and workflow, review forms, email templates, policy page templates and a clean, mobile-friendly theme.

OJS itself is free, open-source software from the Public Knowledge Project — you are paying for the configuration, theme, documentation, installation and support that get you publishing faster. Need something more tailored? See our full OJS journal services.
