Since 2015 we have provided access to a collection of open access journals that have been published using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) software. Earlier this year ProQuest (Serials Solutions) informed us that they were no longer able to keep the records for the journals up to date. We have continued to provide access to the journals but the links are becoming increasingly unreliable. We have also noticed that some journals are no longer open access and require a subscription.
Unfortunately it has now reached a point where we need to withdraw the records from the Catalogue and Multisearch. We have scheduled this for mid-January when we receive our next update file from ProQuest.
Would it be possible to get a listing of these open-access OJS journals?
It would be good to have the option to add the more significant journal titles to my Subject Guides.
I’ve downloaded a list here:
K:\LIBR-Library\Info-Resources\Continuing-Resources\Working-file\Open Journal Systems (OJS).xlsx
In the status column if you select ‘not tracked’ you can see the titles that we have identified as no longer available or not OA.
