How many installations of OJS in the world?

Are you an Editor, Author, or Journal Manager in need of help? Want to talk to us about workflow issues? This is your forum.

Forum rules
This forum is meant for general questions about the usability of OJS from an everyday user's perspective: journal managers, authors, and editors are welcome to post questions here, as are librarians and other support staff. We welcome general questions about the role of OJS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.

What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OJS:

1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OJS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.

2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OJS basics as time goes on.

3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OJS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

Hi

Out of curiosity I would like to know if anyone has an idea of how many are running OJS around the world, and how many journals are being published using OJS?

It seems that OJS getting more and more popular and, in my opinion very deserving, getting the attention as the reference Open Source e-publishing tool.

Anyway if there isn’t anyone with a qualified guess, then it could be great to start an investigation mapping the OJS users. Does anyone have a good idea on how to do that?

Hi Mikael,

Since we're open-source and registration is purely voluntary (http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/register), all we can do is guess at the number of installations based on download statistics, Google searches, and usage of this support forum. Between OJS 1.x and OJS 2.x, we know of over 500 individual journals with more appearing every day.

We also run an installation of the PKP Metadata Harvester (http://pkp.sfu.ca/harvester), to which OJS users can submit their repositories for aggregated searching and browsing.

Regards,

Fellas,

At Ibict (http://www.ibict.br), we are planning on creating a Scientific Journal Portal, where we probably will create some kind of registration process then collect automatically (via harvesting) the content and journal info.

Currently though, we do a "manual" labor, and have a little database with the info we collect or sent by those we've trained and submit their journals to us.

Here's the link. Most are using 1.x, but 2.1 is growing very fast!

Brazilian Journals

International Journals
