OCS - archiving past conference materials

Software Support
1

Hello,

I’m new to OCS and investigating this system for our conference materials.

How can I create a past conference platform? For example, I created the 2015 conference, but there is no date selection “2015” of the first day and last day of the conference. I just can see there are “2018”, “2019”, …, “2021.”

Anyone knows how to set the past conference date and archive the conference materials?

Thank you.

Hi @ohiray,

We are no longer actively developing OCS, so you might consider using OJS to archive past materials. We are working on a tool to migrate content from OCS to OJS 3.x to facilitate that.

OCS continues to be of interest to us, but realistically, we haven’t had the resources to put into a rewrite. If we do, it’ll be a lightweight layer over the PKP Web Application Library that underpins OJS, OMP, and the PKP preprint server.
