We are delighted to announce a new multi-year financial contribution agreement with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), extending from 2026 through 2028. This agreement supports the continued development of Open Journal Systems (OJS), the most widely used free open-source journal publishing platform in the world, and PKP's broader suite of open scholarly infrastructure tools.
Several journals associated with the Max Planck Society—including the Journal of Japanese Law, the Journal of Chinese Law, and Legal History—use OJS as their platform of choice.
Ádám Dér, Head of Scientific Information Provision at the Max Planck Digital Library, remarks: "We're proud to support the Public Knowledge Project as part of our commitment to sustainable, community-driven scholarly infrastructure. Our researchers publish regularly in diamond open access journals using Open Journal Systems, and we see the great value it provides to the scholarly community. Supporting OJS is a natural extension of our mission and reflects the principles outlined in our OA2020 Expression of Interest: by backing diverse publishing models, we can strategically redirect resources toward community-driven initiatives that serve researchers and advance knowledge as a public good."
