The scholarly publishing arena has been influenced by
the Internet and specifically the World Wide Web (WWW) in many ways. Online
journal management offers many benefits, including higher dissemination,
increased access, reach, and visibility, leading to higher impact of individual
research articles published. Journals all over the world are more and more
joining hands with IT, Research and Library Divisions on campus to start
hosting their own, instead of making use of sometimes very expensive
publishers.
The Academy of Science
of South Africa (ASSAf), in collaboration with higher education and
research institutions in the Eastern Cape (LIASA Eastern Cape Branch/SEALS),
would like to invite all editors, journal managers, librarians and other role
players in the scholarly publishing process to a one day workshop on managing
and publishing a scholarly journal in the online environment, using Open Journal Systems. The following will also
be addressed: workflow, unique identifiers, metadata, roles &
responsibilities and criteria for a high quality open access journal, in line
with the Department of Higher Education and Training policy for research output
and criteria for accreditation.
