OJS Enhanced Journals Made Easy release

[Vision, Todd J]

Here's something worth taking a close look at as a model. It's an interface between a manuscript processing system (open source no less) and a data repository using SWORD and OAI-ORE.

Now we just have to persuade all our partner journals to switch their manuscript processing systems (just kidding).

What does it do? Three things:
• improves the standard OJS handling of article 'attachments': files are available to editors and peers during the review process, and the submission process has been made (a little) easier;
• plays nicely with external data repositories: an attachment can be a link to a file residing elsewhere (but work just like an internal OJS attachment in the review and publishing stage), and an internal attachment that an author has submitted with the article can also be submitted to a data repository, creating a 'one-stop-shop' experience for the author;
• on publication, it automagically creates machine-readable descriptions of an article and its data files (in tech-speak: these are small XML files, so-called Resource Maps, in the OAI-ORE standard).

Todd/all -- OJS has been used for dublin core proceedings for quite some time, and is increasingly being used for other dcmi community activities. folks love it.  below points to an interesting development.  i'll keep an eye to any dcmi experimentation w/these new features..and share what i hear.

Interesting. I'm curious whether it works with OCS, too (which is from the same people, and is what iEvoBio uses, for example).

Although I don't know much about this initiative yet, I'm one of ten "Principle Users" on an upcoming PKP grant (PKP = people behind OJS, "Users" = some canadian grant thing I don't understand yet) that has a bit about data.... will let you know what I learn as that picks up steam.

fyi, "as of January 2012 there were over 11,500 installed PKP systems, with a growth rate of 7-10 new installations every day"
