Open Journal Systems

Free/Open Source Software (FOSS)

● OJS is downloaded and installed on your server● We (PKP) might never know you exist

● Your installation lives on its own little planet

Online Workflow: Users and Authors

● Case 1: Submitter is Author– Submitter: Alec Smecher (SFU)

– Author: Alec K Smecher (SFUUBC)

We already have discrepancies.

Addressing =/= Identifying.

Online Workflow: Users and Authors

● Case 2: Submitter is Member– Submitter: Alec Smecher

– Author: Editorial Board

Institutional vs. Individual

Online Workflow: Users and Authors

● Case 3: Submitter is Agent– Submitter: Alec Smecher

– Author: Deceased Greek

Workflow and publishing have distinct needs when it comes to identifying people.

Our Approach: Complete Separation

To Review...

● Each OJS installation lives on its own planet● User accounts are not linked to author records● Author records are not disambiguated

...so...

How do we build an author index?

How do we build an author brag page?

Integration

ORCIDs in User Accounts...

...feed Author records...

...facilitating flexible Author/User linkages...

...we know Alec Smecher (SFU) is Alec Smecher (UBC).

...we know that Alec Smecher is not Deceased Greek.

...link my “planet” with the rest of the universe

...permitting ORCID to handle brag pages...

...no more separate empires.

...feeding ORCID with new published content.

(Thanks, CrossRef & ORCID!)
