What's new in OJS 3.5? Register for upcoming webinar

PKP invites Open Journal Systems (OJS) users, system administrators, and publishing professionals to join its upcoming webinar on March 7th 2025, at 8 AM PST, to get prepared for the next release of OJS version 3.5.

Join us for an exclusive preview of OJS 3.5, the latest release designed to enhance editorial workflows, user management, and system performance. Update: 3.5.0.0 will not be an LTS version but stay tuned to learn when an LTS stamp will be included in a 3.5 future build (from Alec Smecher's post on PKP Community Forum).

Aims and Audience

This session will help increase familiarity with the new features before users begin working with OJS 3.5. We'll not only showcase what's new but also provide a side-by-side comparison with previous versions, helping you understand how these changes will impact your workflow.

This session is perfect for journal system administrators, managers, editors, librarians, and publishing professionals looking to understand what's new and how these updates will streamline publishing workflows in OJS.

Key Highlights

A redesigned submission dashboard with an inline side panel workflow for fewer clicks

Role invitations and ORCID integration for streamlined user management
