California Digital Library: User Interface/Experience review of the Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.0 alpha

California Digital Library, 2013

The California Digital Library became one of the Public Knowledge Project’s first formal development partners in 2012.  As a major part of this commitment, CDL undertook a comprehensive user interface/experience review of the Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.0 alpha in 2013.

The review concentrated on five major workflow areas:

·         Journal setup
·         Article submission
·         Article review
·         User account setup and role assignment
·         Publication of an article and issue

PKP will use the CDL report to guide the ongoing UI/UX refinement of the first, and subsequent, production releases of the OJS 3.X software line.

The full report can be found here.
