The UK electronic information Group (UKeiG) is delighted to announce the publication of Volume 16, issue 2 2020 of its journal
eLucidate on a new web platform, using the Public Knowledge Project’s Open Journal Systems (OJS) hosted by the University of Alberta.
PKP is a multi-university initiative developing free open source software and conducting research to improve the quality and reach of scholarly publishing. Open Journal Systems (OJS) is an open source software application for managing and publishing scholarly articles and issues online. Originally developed and released by PKP in 2001 to improve access to research, it is a widely used opensource international journal publishing platform.
In the first phase of this OJS project the entire 16 year run of eLucidate, previously only available to readers as an entire issue PDF download, can now be searched and downloaded on an article by article basis. Abstracts, keywords and subject categories are being added to enhance the search functionality, but this is an ongoing process, so please bear with us.
The second phase of the project will utilise OJS as a tool for managing eLucidate’s editorial workflow, including peer review. OJS is also integrated with scholarly publishing services including Crossref, ORCiD, and DOAJ. We're delighted that every article is now indexed by Google Scholar making the content far more visible to the library and information science community.
The latest issue of eLucidate features articles by Lucy McKenna on linked data and Martin White on Office 365.
