Special Issue : Topics in Scholarly Communications. A Distance Presentation for Joan Cherry’s Class, University of Toronto Faculty of Information Studies

This presentation illustrates the use of Open Journal Systems (OJS) for publishing an issue of an open access journal, from author submission through peer review to editing and publishing. This demonstration uses the practice journal Topics in Scholarly Communications, a practice journal developed by students at the School of Library, Archival, and Information Studies (SLAIS) at the University of British Columbia. It is estimated that the software elements of publishing a journal issue using OJS take about an hour.
