Share your Accessibility Statement?

Hello,
Our library recently took on hosting OJS from a different entity on campus. We’ve had a request for a VPAT or Accessibility Statement, and we in the library don’t have experience writing either. Do you have one you’re willing to share?
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,

We are currenty working on a VPAT to OJS, since we are running audit reports for accessibility this is a goal to the project. At the moment we don’t have (yet) a VPAT to share with the Community but we will have it in mid-term.
Currently we’ve been developing a theme for the Reader interface compliance with required Accessibility level and the next step is running the same on the Dashboard.

Updating this thread to say that PKP Accessibility Statement has now been released and is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese:

Here is the PKP news release about the statement that summarizes the accessibility improvement efforts to date.
