Hi all,
The 2025 Beacon dataset is out. It shows OJS powering 58,000 journals across 156 countries, with 2.5 million articles published and steady growth in software upgrades.
Learn where journals are located, how many articles are being published, how upgrades are influencing the results, why PKP collects this data, how you as OJS users are shaping the global landscape, and how to explore the data.
This is a feature article in PKP’s Community Newsletter “Archipelago”, now on rolling publication, with a digest coming out at the end of every issue.
