Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system that was developed by Public Knowledge Project to expand and improve access to research.
OJS version update
Updating OJS from one version to another must be done very carefully by first preparing a secure backup of the database, the software and the uploaded files and then updating the software.
In the case of important problems you need to know how to restore to the state of the previous version using the backup.
In the case of Updates to versions with significant changes to the software it is useful to carry out updates on a copy of the site to verify a priori the changes and possible problems together with the customer.
- Version 2.x update
- Version 3.x update
- Update from version 2.x to 3.x

- in your installed version there are bugs and you would like to solve them;
- an editor has created a new Round unintentionally and would like to go back;
- an editor has accepted a Submission or has passed into Copyediting but is wrong and would like to go back;
- a reviewer gave an opinion but would like to go back because he was wrong or forgotten about something;
- an author has filed a submission but would like to correct metadata or add an attachment but you don’t know how to do it;
- you would like to change a translation;
- you would like to ask to develop a feature not yet introduced in OJS but you don’t know how to do it or you don’t have the time to do it.
