OJS Upgrade

Open Journal Systems (OJS) is an open-source software program, and like all similar programs, regular OJS upgrades are essential for improved security, performance, compatibility, and functionality. Security is arguably the most important reason why you should always keep your OJS up-to-date. When you do not update your OJS site, you are risking your OJS security and missing out on new features and improvements. You can expect to update your OJS installation at least once, if not twice, per year.

Our Secure Upgrade Process

At Green Publication Services Private Limited, before performing any OJS upgrade, we take a complete backup of your database and essential files. This ensures that if anything goes wrong during the OJS upgrade process, we can safely roll back to your current installation. After the backup, we proceed with updating your OJS core files and database to the latest stable OJS version.

Journal Downtime Window: The core upgrade process is typically completed with minimal downtime, ensuring your journal remains accessible.
