Simple questions about PKP?

Software Support
1

I am a journal editor for last 7 years. And retired from the job recently. Right now, I(with 7 other PhDs) are thinking about starting our own journal, which will solely be related to ‘military tactics and strategies’. So for that, we are thinking about setting-up a website which will host our journal & database. For that we need a management system. As, all of us does not have experience with these things. So we are coming here to ask simple questions:-

  • How to setup the website, which will host our journals using PKP?
  • What is the pricing? And how publishers will upload to the system?
  • Is there any builtin plugin or software with PKP which will save time to check the plagiarism?
  • What should be the qualifications of the staff that will manage the website?
  • What are the hosting requirements? Given the fact, we call for papers 3 times in a year?
  • Please provide links to videos to setup the whole system?

Right now, we are in a planning and marketing phase(by going to universities and consulting with people on the field). We are referred by Colonel John Alire (Station Chief at http://militarybases.co/directory/martindale-army-airfield-army-base-in-san-antonio-tx/) and he has PhD with dissertation in ‘Future US Civil Wars Problems’.

Looking forward for your help,

Hi @ValeriaPerson,

the answers to your questions are in the OJS Documentation see:
https://pkp.sfu.ca/wiki/index.php?title=OJS_Documentation
Best start with the OJS FAQ.
Here is a PDF Version of the User GUIDE.
In the PKP School you’ll find a number of video tutorials. Futheremore there are DEMO Instances where you can experiment with the system.

Hope this helps
