أنظمة المجلات المفتوحة

نظام المجلات المفتوحة ، المعروف أيضًا باسم OJS ، هو برنامج مفتوح المصدر ومجاني لإدارة المجلات الأكاديمية المحكمة ، تم إنشاؤه بواسطة مشروع المعرفة العامة ، وتم إصداره بموجب رخصة جنو العمومية العامة . [ 1 ]

تاريخ

تم تصميم نظام المجلات المفتوحة (OJS) لتسهيل تطوير النشر المفتوح الوصول والمراجع من قبل النظراء ، وتوفير البنية التحتية التقنية لعرض المقالات العلمية، بالإضافة إلى سير عمل تحريري وإداري يشمل تقديم المقالات، ومراجعة النظراء، والفهرسة. يعتمد نظام OJS على أفراد يؤدون أدوارًا مختلفة، مثل مدير المجلة، والمحرر، والمراجع، والمؤلف، والقارئ. كما يحتوي على وحدة تدعم المجلات المدفوعة. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]

على غرار مشاريع مجتمعية أخرى مثل ووردبريس ، يعتمد برنامج OJS على بنية إضافات تسمح بإضافة ميزات جديدة دون تغيير قاعدة بياناته الأساسية . تُسهّل الإضافات المتاحة فهرسة المحتوى في جوجل سكولار وباب ميد سنترال ، ونشر خلاصات RSS / Atom ، وتوفير إحصائيات COUNTER حول الاستخدام عبر الإنترنت [ 5 ] . تتوفر العديد من الإضافات المُنسقة مباشرةً للتنزيل عبر واجهة معرض الإضافات. كما يتوافق OJS مع معيار LOCKSS ، مما يضمن استمرار الوصول إلى محتوى المجلات. تشمل إضافات الطرف الثالث أدوات القراءة [ 6 ] التي تُوجه القراء إلى الدراسات ذات الصلة، والتقارير الإعلامية، ووثائق السياسات في قواعد البيانات مفتوحة الوصول، وإضافة Better Password [ 7 ] التي تُلزم المستخدمين باستخدام كلمات مرور قوية، وغيرها الكثير المتاحة مجانًا على GitHub. يوفر OJS أيضًا قوالب مخصصة [ 8 ] يُمكن إضافتها إلى البرنامج عبر معرض الإضافات، بالإضافة إلى نسخة تجريبية [ 9 ] لتجربة ميزاته.

الإصدارات

يستخدم نظام OJS حاليًا الإصدار 3.4.0-7، والذي سيصدر في 23 أغسطس 2024. وقد صدرت النسخة الأولى منه في عام 2001. يتميز البرنامج بخطة تطوير مفتوحة ومحددة جيدًا [ 10 ] ومجموعة من المراحل الرئيسية. [ 11 ]

The software is written in PHP, currently supports two databases, MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL, and can be hosted on a Unix-like or Windows web server.

Note: OJS 2 reached its end of life in 2021, its latest release was the version 2.4.8-5, released in May 2019.[12] When upgrading from the version 2.x to 3.x, some care must be taken given that several features have been added and removed, especially if the installation has hand-made customizations.[13][14]

Translations

As of version 3.3.0, the software has been translated into 50 languages:[15] Arabic, Armenian, Basque, Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Gaelic, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Kurdish, Macedonian, Malay, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese, with many additional languages (including Uzbek, Urdu, Sinhala, Lithuanian, Korean, and Mongolian) in development. Translations are created and maintained by the user community.[16]

Documentation

PKP maintains an extensive documentation hub[17] where users can find documentation about all of its systems. The documentation covers basic software usage, migration instructions, development practices, accessibility, video tutorials and the content has been translated partially into other languages.[18] PKP also provides extensive documentation on governance and policies.[19]

Usage

A user community has developed around the software, with active participants, and enhancements being contributed to the project from the Brazilian Institute for Information in Science and Technology (IBICT),[20] the Journal of Medical Internet Research,[21] and others. A growing body of publications and documentation[22] is available on the project's website.

As of mid-2021, OJS was being used by at least 25,000 journals worldwide.[23] A daily updated map showing the location of these journals is also available on PKP's website.[24] A survey in 2010 found that about half were in the developing world.[25]

The Public Knowledge Project is also collaborating with the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) to develop scholarly research portals in Africa,[26] Bangladesh,[27] Nepal,[28] and Vietnam.[29] In Venezuela, at least 32 independent organizations, public and private universities publish 230 journals using this platform.[30]

OJS, as well as the Érudit publishing system,[31] is being used in the Synergies project,[32] creating a scholarly portal for Canadian social sciences and humanities research. OJS is also being used for research portals in Brazil,[33] Spain, Italy,[34] and Greece.[35]

Hosting

OJS hosting service is offered for a fee by the PKP|Publishing Services[36] (PKP-operated Publishing Services),[37][38] as well as a variety of third-party commercial and non-commercial service providers not affiliated with PKP.[39]

PKP has also released a Docker container[40] in GitHub, which may be helpful to spin-up an OJS instance without having to deal with the web server, database and PHP installation. The container is still in beta, so it should be used only for testing purposes.
