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://doi.org/10.5446/71579 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: Practical webinar designed for systems administrators/journal managers responsible for managing Open Journal Systems (OJS). This session will guide participants step-by-step through the process of upgrading from OJS 3.x to the latest 3.5 release. Staying up-to-date with the latest version of OJS is essential for journals to take advantage of the latest features, performance improvements, and critical security updates in OJS 3.5. Participants will receive a detailed walkthrough of the technical upgrade process, a checklist of requirements to ensure a smooth transition, and the opportunity to ask questions and get expert guidance.
