About the event

Approaches to peer review are evolving, with the focus shifting towards greater transparency, efficiency, and collaboration. The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) is pleased to invite you to a Peer Review Week webinar to learn about how Open Journal Systems (OJS) is adapting to these changes.

Erik Hanson, PKP Systems Developer, and Devika Goel, PKP UX/UI Designer, will share information on the following topics: 

✦ Planning and Brainstorming Insights: Explore the ideas and insights on open peer review discussed during our recent sprint in Minnesota.

✦ Upcoming Developments: Hear about features and enhancements coming to OJS, including:

  • A new dashboard look-and-feel for reviewers which takes an action-oriented approach
  • A new process for inviting reviewers and other users to contribute to a journal
  • An improved process for editors to manage peer review in the submission dashboard

✦ Community Engagement Opportunities: 

  • Learn how you can actively participate in the development process through our community forum.
  • We’ll discuss how your feedback and collaboration can drive meaningful improvements and shape the future of our software.
