I noticed you are using Open Journal Systems to publish and manage Geological Quarterly. I’ve heard from other editors how clunky it is, not to mention the burden of maintenance and system upgrades. Does this feeling resonate with you? If so, I would be interested to hear about your experience and put Scholastica on your radar as an alternative to OJS. Do you have time next week for a quick chat?
