OJS Upgrade Services
OJS should regularly get updates, this is to ensure that your Open Journal Systems has been optimized, safe from hacker attacks, and obtain additional features from the official OJS release from PKP. We implement OJS upgrades by taking careful steps and handled by an experienced team to ensure that the results of the upgrade do not cause problems in the future. The upgrade process is done without disturbing the active OJS used. We do the upgrade process by applying the staging process and making a backup of your current OJS to make sure that nothing gets wrong with your current OJS installation.
OJS 3 to OJS 3 the latest version
We all agree that performance and safety really need to be considered in your journal. PKP always updates to add features, fix bugs, or patch security regularly, We provide a service if you want your OJS 3 version to always be updated. We provide an OJS 3 upgrade from your current version to the latest item of OJS or a custom version of OJS (downgrade is not available). Let the upgrade process be handled by our professional team so you can relax and wait for the optimal result without disturbing your current OJS galley or files.
