The CRAFT-OA project is hosting a new series of online workshops on Open Journal Systems (OJS).

These sessions are designed for OJS platform managers, institutional IT staff, and journal administrators who are looking for practical guidance on installation, upgrades, migration, configuration, and theming. The focus is on real needs that publishing teams encounter in their day-to-day work.

Each workshop in the “Meet the Experts” series includes:

  • A clear, step-by-step demonstration by experienced practitioners

  • Practical checklists and takeaways

  • Time for discussion and questions

The goal is to provide support that helps teams of all sizes set up and maintain a reliable, modern, and user-friendly OJS installation.
