Greetings,
Are you a journal or publisher using Open Journal Systems (OJS)? If yes, the
Public Knowledge Projects (PKP)
<https://pkp.sfu.ca/about/organization/technical-committee/> Technical
Committee needs your help!
The PKP Technical Committee has created a survey to help PKP identify
development priorities for Open Journal Systems (OJS). All we need is 20
minutes of your time to learn more. If you are a journal editor or manager,
or a regular user of the journal management features in OJS, please complete
the following survey by March 12, 2021.

If this survey does not apply and/or if you know of others who may be
interested, please feel free to forward this email.
Background
The PKP Technical Committee is a community-led committee that provides
technical input and advice on PKPs software development priorities. Like
you, we are users of PKP software. In 2020, our committee discussed the need
to acquire more feedback about what you - the OJS user community - feel are
the most important directions for the software.
For our first survey, we decided to focus on understanding priorities for
journal managers and editors. We reviewed and consolidated OJS feature
requests from the past two years, including those found on the
<https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/> PKP Community Forum and
<https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib> PKP GitHub repository. Though some of the
features identified in this survey are already in progress and/or under
consideration per PKPs <http://pkp.sfu.ca/roadmap> Roadmap, we need your
help to further prioritize as well as to identify additional needs.
We hope this will be the first of many opportunities to engage more directly
with you about your priorities. Your participation will help not only
provide invaluable input to the PKP team, it will also support the Technical
Committee to fulfill its responsibility to recommend technical directions to
PKP and the PKP Advisory Committee.
If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Sonya Betz, PKP
Technical Committee Chair, Sonya Betz, at sonya.betz((a))ualberta.ca. You can
