Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: These slides accompany an online workshop, which was organised by the CRAFT-OA project for the Diamond Open Access community in the fall of 2025. The workshop recording is available here: https://av.tib.eu/media/71656 The presentation is one of 5 workshops in the Meet the Experts series (https://av.tib.eu/series/1968), which is designed for OJS platform managers, institutional IT teams, and journal administrators who need practical support with installing, upgrading, or configuring Open Journal Systems (OJS). Whether you’re setting up OJS for the first time, migrating content, or customizing your journal’s appearance and functionality, the sessions focus on common scenarios and real needs. Each “Meet the Experts” workshop offers step-by-step demonstrations, useful checklists, and space to ask questions—making it easier for teams without deep OJS experience to get started and maintain a reliable, modern journal platform. Workshop description: As OJS becomes increasingly popular within the scientific community, particularly in the context of transformations to scholarly-led publishing models, journal managers and administrators frequently encounter the challenge of migrating content to OJS installations. This workshop will explore various options for importing data into OJS, provide an online demonstration, and highlight best practices and strategies for a seamless migration process. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss their specific challenges, and share insights from the perspectives of their individual journals.
