Publishing program recommendations

What, and for whom, do campuses want to use for OJS

• Unclear from demo app implementations

• Talking to campuses for onboarding

• examples for use cases will be helpful

• Kevin will pass along questions/concerns to scholcomm

Undergrad history journal (wordpress to ojs) vs faculty journals

• legacy journal issues are stored locally by Dana as archival docs

• theming concerns – groups like wordpress-like themes, styling

  • limited resources for building themes

  • short term projects for theming/etc more doable

Online documentation

• CO does WP hosting for copyright info

• Can do so for hosting OJS documentation

  • campus contacts for publishing

• CSU libraries site: libraries.calstate.edu

  • options for place/design to live

Workflow for test to prod?

Certain sites should for now go right into prod space if well established

Should have defined recs for whether to use test/prod space
