Q. How does the FGCU Library use Open Journal Systems (OJS)?

As part of the commitment to increasing open access to research, the FGCU Library is using Open Journal Systems (OJS) through Florida Online Journals (Florida OJ) to provide online hosting for academic journals operated and managed by FGCU scholars. The OJS system has a highly configurable system for editorial workflows with features including:

• Online author submission
• Blind, double-blind, or open peer-review processes
• Online management of copyediting, layout, and proofreading
• Delegation of editorial responsibilities according to journal sections
• Management of publication schedule and ongoing journal archiving
• Multilingual interface supporting 10 languages
• Support for a variety of reader tools, such as RSS feeds and share buttons
