PKP Software Development
PKP is a community-governed project that has the interests of the scholarly publishing community and the greater public good in mind.
The PKP community software development of Open Journal Systems (OJS; also used for conference proceedings), Open Monograph Press (OMP), and Open Preprint Systems (OPS), is based on the needs of those using the software — the needs of interconnected communities that have expressed the importance of fair and sustainable access to research, and the importance of open infrastructure as a vehicle to making sure that long-term solutions are in place (and remain in place).
PKP thrives on community involvement and once again invites you to join the upcoming software development update, share perspectives, and get involved.
