UJ Library Open Journal System
At the University of Johannesburg we support open access publishing and the dissemination of information through open access platforms. Part of our mission is to support research in any way that we can. There are several journals that are loosely ‘housed’ at the university and the editors of these journals are all faculty staff. The Open Journal System (OJS) is a digital platform on which these journals, and any other journal that faculty members may be involved in, can be hosted.
