Recent vulnerabilities discovered in PHP have highlighted the importance of keeping the technology infrastructure of scholarly journals up to date. On 21 October 2026, fixes were released for two critical flaws that could allow remote code execution on certain servers. The news is particularly relevant for journals that use Open Journal Systems (OJS), a PHP-based […]

The conversation has also been shared on Universo Abierto, one of the leading Spanish-language blogs on libraries, documentation, open science and science communication. During the interview, […]

However, preparing a manuscript is not the same as producing a scientific journal. A journal needs to work with the files it receives from authors, review metadata, apply its […]
The integration of AMS and OJS shows how to automate editorial production without changing Open Journal Systems or altering the way the journal works. OJS has become an essential tool for thousands of scientific journals, universities and academic publishers, as it lets them manage manuscript submission, peer review, editorial decisions and article publication from a […]
Scientific journals need XML because digital publishing depends on structured data. A PDF can show an article to a reader, but XML allows the article to be understood by systems. This is especially important for academic publishing, where metadata quality, discoverability and interoperability are essential. XML can help journals: improve indexing; structure article metadata; publish […]
For decades, LaTeX has been one of the most widely used tools for typesetting scientific documents, especially in fields such as mathematics, physics, engineering and computer science. Its ability to produce technically precise documents, with complex formulas and a consistent typographic structure, has made it a benchmark in academic publishing. However, when it comes to […]

In fact, that is where one of the slowest, most technical and most expensive phases of the editorial process begins: production. File review, typesetting, PDF generation, HTML preparation, JATS XML markup, metadata review, coordination with authors, validation of changes […]
