Everything you need to know about our OJS services
We specialize in Open Journal Systems 3.x — currently the most widely deployed and actively maintained version of OJS. This includes all OJS 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 subversions. If your journal is still running on OJS 2.x, we assess your current installation and plan a full, safe migration to OJS 3 — including all published articles, user accounts, and submission history. We do not recommend staying on OJS 2.x as it no longer receives security updates from PKP.
To prepare an accurate quote, it helps to know: your journal URL (if one exists), which OJS version you're currently running (if any), your hosting environment (cPanel, VPS, cloud server, or managed hosting), the specific service you need, and your preferred timeline. You don't need to have all of this ready — use the <a href="/contact">quote form at ojsguru.com</a> and tell us what you know. We'll ask for anything else we need during our initial consultation.
Yes — our clients include university presses, academic departments running their own journals, independent scholarly publishers, professional societies, research institutes, and NGOs publishing open-access journals. Whether you're a solo editor-in-chief managing your first journal or an institution managing a portfolio of journals, we tailor our services to your scope and budget.
We respond to all email inquiries within one business day — usually faster. For urgent issues (journal down, submission system broken, missed indexing deadline), flag your message as urgent in the subject line and we prioritize accordingly. You can also use the <a href="/live-support">live support chat on ojsguru.com</a> for immediate assistance with common questions.
Yes — this is one of the most common situations we handle. Many journals launch on OJS with incomplete configurations, outdated plugins, or broken workflows and only realize the problems later. We audit your existing installation, identify what's misconfigured or missing, and fix it — without disrupting your live journal or active submission queue.
