Add harvesting of OJS journals #9

Open nuest opened 2 years ago

nuest commented 2 years ago

Open Journal Systems is one of the main platforms for independent journals, often diamond OA and researcher-led. These OJS servers are all around, of course, and not that easy to find (no single "publisher"), so a list of URLs might be needed. And harvesting would be tricky because of the possibly varying structure of the information on the websites.

Some random examples:

Maybe find many of these pages with https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ojs+about%2FeditorialTeam&t=ffsb&ia=web ?

This would add a significant "other part" of the academic publishing system.

Last year, PKP shared a public dataset of journals and other periodicals using OJS, including journal URLs: https://doi:10.7910/DVN/OCZNVY
