What’s on in scholarly publishing? Mark Huskisson, Publishing Development Specialist at the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), takes readers into an exploration of the recent increase in OJS usage around the world in a guest post for the Scholarly Kitchen, a blog established by the Society for Scholarly Publishing.

“When we released the data this year, a number of challenging questions were raised about the rapid growth of OJS in particular – quite rightly, as “open means open” and that includes being open to interrogation and challenge. But it also means, for many of us, a need for openness as we recalibrate and broaden our understanding of the current scholarly publishing landscape.”
Cuando publicamos los datos este año, surgieron varias preguntas desafiantes sobre el rápido crecimiento de OJS en particular, con razón, ya que “abierto significa abierto” y eso incluye estar abierto a interrogatorios y desafíos. Pero también significa, para muchos de nosotros, una necesidad de apertura a medida que recalibramos y ampliamos nuestra comprensión del panorama editorial académico actual.
Mark joined the Project in 2022 with thirty years of academic publishing experience and an Executive MBA from the University of Nottingham. Mark specialises in organisational sustainability, publishing business models, and technology development, working with the scholarly communications community to reduce barriers to access and participation in developing the global knowledge base as a public good.
