Training on Open Journal System
The Bhutan Health Journal under the aegis of Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan (KGUMSB) is conducting a training on Open Journal System – online journal management platform for three days from 12th – 14th April 2021 at the Divine Heritage, Punakha.
Open Journal System (OJS) is the open access software for online journal management and publication. The widely used OJS software helps improve online access and credibility of the Bhutan Health Journal in the international arena. The training will enhance skills and familiarize IT Officers and Managing Editors from selected journal publishers within the country to develop and customize their own system as per their need and help disseminate research findings in a more vibrant and efficient manner through the international online access platform.
At the end of three days of training, consultants from the Public Knowledge Project, the OJS developer, will provide virtual training sessions. The virtual training will focus on customizing the configuration of OJS, calibrations, and troubleshooting, as well as a question-and-answer session.
This training is part of the COVID-19 Health Response grant to support public health research and training on COVID-19 and similar epidemic prevention and response. The training was made possible with the generous support of the American people through the U.S. Agency for International Development in partnership with the Bhutan Foundation.
