Join us October 28, 2025, 8 AM PDT, to learn about new features and enhancements coming with the OJS 3.6 release in 2026.
Launching in 2026, OJS / OMP / OPS version 3.6 introduces several long-anticipated improvements to support more flexible and efficient publishing practices. This webinar is the first in a series highlighting the new features and enhancements coming with this release.
Topics
In this session, we’ll focus on two key developments: continuous publication and article versioning.
- Continuous publication enables editors to publish articles as soon as they are ready, without waiting for an entire issue to be complete.
- Enhanced article versioning allows journals to make preprints or “author originals” available ahead of peer review, while providing a clear distinction between early versions and the final version of record.
Participants will see how these features work in 3.6, learn how to configure them for their journals, and have the opportunity to engage directly with PKP developers to ask questions and discuss future directions.
Whether you’re an editor, journal manager, or part of a publishing team, this session will provide practical insight into how OJS 3.6 can help streamline workflows and expand publishing options.
