Public Knowledge Project (PKP)

The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) is a nonprofit organization that develops open-source software and resources to make academic publishing more accessible and transparent. Their most well-known platform, Open Journal Systems (OJS), helps researchers and institutions publish and manage scholarly journals online efficiently. PKP aims to improve the dissemination of research by removing barriers to access, supporting academic freedom, and promoting collaboration among publishers, authors, and readers worldwide. Essentially, PKP's work makes it easier to share scholarly knowledge broadly, fostering a more open and equitable academic environment.
