Free softwares
Just like the availability of research data, the openness of the codes used to produce or exploit it is, from the point of view of reusability and reproducibility, a central issue of open science.
As part of its open science roadmap (https://u-paris.fr/science-ouverte/logiciel-recommandations/), Université Paris Cité is committed to promoting open source software in research and research support projects, and to supporting the Software Heritage program (https://www.softwareheritage.org/), a software archiving platform for preserving, referencing and sharing source codes.
The OPUS platform, for its part, is based primarily on two open-source software packages from the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) initiative: Open Journal System (OJS) for journals, and Open Monograph Press (OMP) for books.
OPUS supports the Public Knowledge Project initiative, and its developers play an active role in the development of OJS and OMP open-source software, both of which have been widely adopted by publishers involved in open science.
These programs enable peer review and the distribution of electronic formats. The interface accessible to authors guarantees transparency and traceability in the processing of their manuscripts.
OPUS provides training and support for its editorial projects managers.
On September 19, 2023, OPUS organized a workshop on PKP softwares. You can find the presentation materials on the Sciencesconf page: https://opus2023.sciencesconf.org/
Public Knowledge Project has released various tutorials on how to use Open Monograph Press (OMP) and Open Journal Systems (OJS), see for instance :
