Re: Free online journal submission software

["Julian Fisher, MD" <fisher@scholarlyexchange.org>]

Our experience at Scholarly Exchange over the past six years 
hosting several dozen journals of all stripes on OJS has been 
positive and instructive.

We have been able to provide a highly dependable 
supported-and-hosted OJS platform at minimal cost (first year 
free, subsequent years US $750 for single journals, $500 for 
5-or-more) to the journals.  This frees them from any technical 
requirements and special costs.  It has appealed to both 
societies and universities as a cost-efficient method for 
starting and maintaining journals.  It has enabled the journals 
to e-publish with a fully-loaded per-article cost in the range of 
$50-60, well below the $1500-4000 costs stated for other 
publishing methods.  It makes open access an immediate and 
affordable reality for many small and large journals.
