Why Upgrading OJS Matters

Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a robust, open-source software used globally for managing and publishing scholarly journals. Regular upgrades are crucial to maintain the security, performance, compatibility, and functionality of your OJS installation. Keeping your OJS software up-to-date helps protect your journal from vulnerabilities, ensures optimal performance, and integrates new features that enhance your publishing capabilities. Typically, OJS should be upgraded at least once or twice a year.

Our Upgrade Process

  1. Pre-Upgrade Backup: Before initiating any upgrade, we perform a comprehensive backup of your database and essential files. This step is crucial to safeguard your data and provide a rollback option if any issues arise during the upgrade process.
  2. Core Files and Database Update: After securing a backup, we proceed with updating the OJS core files and database to the latest stable version. This ensures that you benefit from the most recent improvements and features.
