Free online event

PublishOA.ie, co-led by the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College Dublin, is pleased to announce a webinar which will give participants an introduction to different publishing platforms for journals.

The webinar will include demos from platform providers Coko Foundation (Kotahi), Janeway and the Public Knowledge Project's Open Journal Systems (PKP/OJS), and is part of PublishOA.ie’s mission of evaluating the feasibility of establishing a national publishing platform in Ireland.

This webinar will give those involved in journal publishing or those curious about open source systems, the opportunity to see different platforms in action and put questions directly to the teams involved.

It is open to the public, and will begin with each platform being presented, and then opening the floor to questions and answers.

Janeway is an open source scholarly publishing platform developed by the Centre for Technology and Publishing at Birkbeck, University of London, to support the goals of the Open Library of Humanities, an open access academic publisher.

Kotahi is produced by the Coko Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation whose aim is to use to use Open Source to transform how knowledge is created, improved, and shared.

PKP/OJS produces free, open source software to disseminate research and manage the entire scholarly publishing workflow from submission to indexing.
