OJS Playbook
The Airix standard for scholarly operations.
Inherited OJS does not have to stay fragile.
If a journal has missed upgrades, inherited unsupported code or become difficult to operate, we establish the current state, stabilise the platform and define a safe route forward.
A common constraint
An inherited theme, plugin or local modification blocks a safe upgrade path.
The response
We audit the application, database, private files and extensions, then rehearse the upgrade away from production and document the accepted route.
Give the scholarly record a dependable technical home.
From a new journal to an institutional migration, we define the platform, operating responsibility and support route around the publishing work.
