What’s of interest? Janeway

More details (Unless otherwise noted, this description is copied directly from the tagged web site)


Janeway was developed by software engineers at the Open Library of Humanities to provide a not-for-profit digital publishing platform.

Janeway is an intuitive and adaptable platform for digital publishing that helps you manage manuscript submissions, including review, copyediting, typesetting and publication. We founded it on open-source principles and will never write paywall features into the software. Janeway is released under a copyleft license, which protects it from commercial acquisition and ensures that it will remain truly open and community-governed.

We designed Janeway to be sustainable, drawing on the most durable and promising web application technologies. The platform is built in Python using Django. Python was chosen for its readability and flexibility, its vibrant open-source ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, and its dedicated communities of developers, scientists, and researchers.

And yes, all of the developers are huge Star Trek fans!

Love to know how this differs, complements, or is the evolution of Open Journal Systems (OJS)? Has anyone done a comparison of features?

Wow ! Janeway is a solid piece of infrastructure. Building on Python and Django gives it a highly maintainable, scalable stack, and enforcing a copyleft license is a smart move to protect it as a public good. It’s a great example of sustainable, community-governed academic tech.
