Open Journal Systems Research Articles

Editor’s Note (this is to you)

The journal approaches something of a milestone with this issue. The current iteration of ACRL’s professional journal of special collections librarianship practice began publication as Rare Books and Manuscripts Librarianship in 1986. When I was in library school a few years later, the only access points to content in the field was the library’s local card catalogue and the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) index. For those of you competent, working professionals young enough to be my children, research was a matter of looking through print volumes—print, mind you—of annual issue after annual issue for citations appearing under index terms, then pulling the bound volumes from the shelves on another floor. The current title RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage was adopted upon acquiring and moving to a digital platform in 2000. Since that time, all ACRL journal content has been available digitally, creating a backfile of material accessible for the asking. In 2014 ALA enacted a platform migration to OJS (Open Journal System) software. RBM content also moved to the OJS platform.

Recommender System in the Process of Scientific Peer Review in Mathematical Journal

An approach is proposed for organizing expert evaluation of a scientific document submitted to a mathematical journal. Domain restriction is associated with the use of the Mathematical Sciences Classification System – MSC. A recommendation system is presented that allows you to create a list of possible experts for conducting scientific peer-reviewing on a mathematical article. The recommender system uses the MSC codes presented by the author of the article on the MSC2020 classifiers. If the codes MSC2000 or MSC2010 are indicated in the article, they are automatically converted to codes MSC2020. For each expert, the system supports a personal profile that contains a set of codes MSC2020, supplemented by numerical characteristics – weights calculated for each code in accordance with the system of accounting for competencies, preferences or refusals to participate in the review procedure. This set is automatically edited if the expert is included in the list of possible reviewers – the weights of several codes increase or decrease, as well as new codes are added. The recommendation system is implemented as an integrated tool (plug-in) of the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. The developed method has been tested in the information system of the Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics (https://ljm.kpfu.ru).

Utilization of Blockchain Technology for Management E-Certificate Open Journal System

The application of blockchain technology in e-certificates in the open journal system is needed to validate and distribute managed e-certificates in each journal issue. With tools in the form of conceptualized and managed blockcerts allows users to use and verify the authenticity of e-certificates that are closely linked to the blockchain. Observation on the open journal system and applied blockchain tools in the form of blockcerts as a place to issue e-certificates with guaranteed security so that e-certificates are verified as well as managed data. Issuance of e-certificates is still considered unsafe because it can be easily forged. Specifically, this study produced two benefits, namely: (1) Issuance of e-certificates in an open journal system is more verified, data is managed and there will not be duplications or even falsification of e-certificates. (2) The reputation of the open journal system is better with a sense of trust. This research uses library study method by implementing e-certificate in an open journal system with blockchain technology tools such as blockcerts. In order that the results of the e-certificate issuance go well and to avoid any crime that threatens the authenticity of the e-certificate, this blockchain is used to guarantee that the e-certificate is safe and not easily falsified, duplicated or even easily replaced by those not granted access rights. By using blockchain technology, the data collected will be well managed and not easily falsified.

Blockchain-based Decentralized Distribution Management in E-Journals

The application of blockchain in the context of E-Journal distribution to journalists is aimed at making the management paper adequately distributed and not misused. The security system in the distribution or management paper process of an open journal system is currently considered to be very lacking because one can duplicate the journal in an open journal system easily. Furthermore, it can be transferred to anyone who is not responsible. The security system in the distribution of an open journal system and the management of the management paper process is currently considered to be very lacking because one can duplicate the journal in an open journal system easily. Furthermore, it can be transferred to anyone who is not responsible. With the implementation of this blockchain technology, there are 3 (three) benefits, namely (1) The distribution of E-Journal in the Open Journal System is more targeted, and there are no errors. (2) The reputation of the Open Journal System becomes better with a sense of trust. This research will be implemented in an E-Journal in an Open Journal System using blockchain technology. (3) The management paper processing in the open journal system runs according to the procedure so that in the management process the distribution of soft copies and hard copies of the journal is protected from hacker threats, and this blockchain is used to guarantee its security.

In the article the theoretical foundations of forming the linguistic and humanitarian competence of technical university students as an important factor of personal development are discussed, based on the analysis of scientific sources and empirical material. The linguistic humanitarian competence of a specialist with higher technical education is defined as an integrative dynamic structural quality of a personal that combines a set of linguistic, humanitarian, communicative and socio-cultural competences, communicative and cognitive skills. It has been demonstrated that the process of personal development consists primarily in qualitative changes in mental activity, in the formation of new personality traits. The role of competence approach in the organization of the educational process in universities has been studied. The ability to solve problems that arise during the cognitive, technological and mental activities, in the spheres of ethical, social, legal, professional, personal relationships is given the priority. It has been established that the linguistic humanitarian practices are extremely important in the philosophical and anthropological context as one of the key factors of the personal development. Generalized characteristic features of different forms of intelligence are provided. It is stated that the linguistic humanitarian practices develop not only the verbal linguistic intelligence, but also the creativity, that is, the ability to use the results of different types of intelligence. The influence of the linguistic humanities on the social communicativeness of future specialists is highlighted, which is important for the implementation of moral norms as a condition for the social adaptation of an individual. It requires improvement of the content and procedure of the educational process, the development of cognitive independence and commitment of students, the formation of self-education and self-criticism skills, as well as communication skills.Funding.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/). The article studies the problem of the image as a presentation of university teacher. The categorical apparatus of the research and scientific works, where the problem of the teacher’s image is discussed, are analyzed. The role of personal qualities in forming the professional image is determined. Emphasis is placed on the requirements for educators put forward by the modern society. The importance of creating an image, constantly improving oneself in order to meet the requirements of the society is substantiated. Emphasis is placed on the emergence of such new scientific trends as the professional imageology, pedagogical imageology, etc., which study the problem of a professional’s image, which makes it possible to study the main aspects of this problem, reflected in scientific works. The article states that the image and self-presentation of a teacher play an important role not only in the professional activity and the formation of professional culture, but also in achieving success in the professional career. The elements of formation of the teacher’s pedagogical image as the main criterion of professional success in teaching are characterized. It is emphasized that the perception of the teacher’s image has changed over the last decades, and what was previously considered inadmissible is commonplace now. Therefore, both the personal image and pedagogical image and requirements for them have changed significantly. It is accentuated that the image of the whole higher education institution will depend on the level of professional image of teachers ‒ professional competence, scientific innovations knowledge, the newest methods, information and communication technologies, elements of external and internal techniques. The importance of the psychology of clothing, which considers the appearance as multidimensional information about the person, is a significant factor for creating pedagogical image. The peculiarities and components of the image are analyzed, the factors and regularities of the image formation as a presentation of the university teacher are studied.Acknowledgments.

Gestão editorial de periódico científico de acesso aberto em consolidação: análise da Revista Latino-Americana em Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (LALCA)

Periódicos científicos em consolidação, em geral, não contam fontes renomadas para geração e acompanhamento de indicadores de desempenho, uma vez que não são indexados por bases de dados tradicionais. Frente a essa problemática, este estudo visou a análise e a experimentação de indicadores, ferramentas e metodologias de avaliação de desempenho para Revista Latino-Americana em Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida, a qual se encontra em estágio de consolidação. A partir da relação de autores dos artigos já publicados pela LALCA, foram coletados dados complementares, tais como origem geográfica, titulação, afiliação, entre outros, além de dados relacionados às estatísticas de acesso e uso da Revista e de seus artigos, utilizando-se como fontes de dados as plataformas Open Journal Systems, Lattes, e Open Researcher and Contributor ID e outros perfis e/ou páginas pessoais ou profissionais, e o Google Analytics. O tratamento e a análise dos dados geraram indicativos que podem auxiliar o processo de gerenciamento do periódico e a sua consequente qualificação e consolidação, além de instigar a ampliação e o reforço de registro e curadoria de metadados úteis a gestores de periódicos em processo de consolidação

Pandawan Website Design Based Content Management System As Media E-commerce Transaction

As the Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia No. 9 of 2018 concerning the accreditation of scientific journals article 4 which mentions the requirements of scientific journals, it has been announced on the official website page of ARJUNA (National Journal Accreditation), that regarding the Circular of the Director of Intellectual Property Management Number 101 / E5.2 / SE / 2018 dated 18 January 2018 regarding Accreditation of Scientific Periodicals only accepts and processes the proposed national scientific (periodical) journal accreditation that has been managed electronically, so that the assessment process will be easier, faster, accurate and transparent (ARJUNA, 2018). But in reality in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the Government was not well organized. There are a total of 3 (three) problems from 2 (two) sides of website users, namely there are still many institutions or agencies that in the management use conventional processes so that people who want to publish their articles digitally are constrained with limited access, there are still minimal agencies that have not been able to provide a forum to provide educational support facilities and Open Journal System (OJS) in the form of attractive website-based e-commerce. In this study there are 2 (two) data collection methods, namely observation and literature study methods. The results of this study are Pandawan e-commerce based websites that provide journal publisher services that can be managed online, as well as solving publisher problems in managing journals online.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/). The article examines the main aspects of children and young people upbringing in the Christian spirit in the Volhynia province. The author analyzed a lot of archival documents. It is explained that in the schools of that region schoolchildren studied the Scripture, children were involved in church worship, pursued Christian education activities. It is substantiated that representatives of public associations and religious fraternities were involved in the education of children and young people. The role of the representatives of the Volhynian clergy in the formation of the Christian outlook of the young generation was investigated. It is explained that many scientists have studied the problem of religious education. The author analyzed in detail the works of G. Yermak, G. Kotlomanitova, I. Myshchyshyn. It has been found that the primary purpose of the spiritual institutions of the past was to form a special type of thinking ‒ the sacred one. The upbringing of children in Christian morality in Ukraine goes back to the times of Kievan Rus when in 988 Prince Vladimir proclaimed Christianity the main religion of the state. It gave a great impetus to the development of education, sciences and arts. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the Volhynia province became a part of the Russian state the religious education, and therefore up-bringing in the spirit of Christianity, continued to develop. Orthodoxy was the main religion in the Volhynia province. The religious education was provided in class and after school. The younger generation read the Bible and books on moral and ethical topics. Students’ books had texts about compassion, charity, love and tolerance. The children sang in the church choir. The church fraternity representatives opened elementary schools and Sunday schools, held moral conversations. The largest church organizations were in Lutsk, Kremenets, and Ostroh. The Christian education is in tune with the modern humanistic orientation of the education. So the principal ways of introducing the Orthodox pedagogy into the modern educational institutions are determined in the article.Acknowledgments.

In spite of the existence of a lot of authors’ researches on the issues of international students’ problems, while studying abroad, we state that the adaptation challenges they face are the issue of vital importance to solve for today’s pedagogy and psychology in order to facilitate the foreigners’ adaptation process. The article offers an analysis of the organizational and pedagogical support of foreign students’ adaptation to the US university environment. The paper argues that direct-acting factors that are means of training and indirect factors, among which there are the spatial-objective organization of the environment and interpersonal interaction, influence foreign students’ adaptation to the American university environment. The main aspects that cover foreign students’ adaptation at the US universities have been studied, namely: learning the language the host country, adopting its culture and social support. The article also outlines a number of competencies and abilities of students needed to be adapted to the educational environment while studying abroad, as: foreign-language communicative competence, sociocultural, intercultural, and strategic competences; ability to overcome cultural shock and stress associated with it, abilities to adapt to a new cultural environment . The major teachers’ competences necessary in the work with foreign students for their successful adaptation and the study process have been singled out. The results of the survey defined the key foreign student’s challenges of the adaptation process to a new university environment from different aspects, namely: the psychological, social, cultural, and academic ones. The organizational and pedagogical basics of the university staff’s work with foreign students on ensuring the facilitation of their adaptation to a new academic environment and an important role of the campus in this process have been substantiated. The possibility of implementing the US progressive ideas and experience concerning foreign students’ adaptation to university education of Ukraine has been also outlined. Acknowledgments.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ ). The article analyzes the modern scientific discourse on understanding the phenomenon of foreign language education. An interpretation of concepts and terms defining the modern terminology of foreign language learning, such as “bilingualism”, “multilingualism”, “multicultural education”, “bilingual education”, “mother tongue”, “foreign language”, “second language”, “Foreign language”, etc. is generalized. It has been found that the authorship of the term “foreign language education” belongs to E. Passov, who introduced it into scientific circulation in the second half of the 1990s in the context of actualizing the personality-oriented education paradigm. The linguist argued that this term should replace the notion of “learning a foreign language”, because modern people must learn not only the language of a particular people and country, but also their culture. It is shown that the term “foreign language culture” is to some extent artificially internalized into the theory and practice of the Ukrainian pedagogical science, since its correspondence in the formulation of “foreign language education” has not been found in the English language literature. Instead, it includes the term “language education” to refer to the theory and practice of acquisition of a second or foreign language. The contribution of Ukrainian and foreign teachers and linguists to the development of the theoretical and methodological aspects of foreign language culture has been determined. The main interpretations of this phenomenon in the pedagogical literature have been presented. It is shown that the term “foreign language education” has become widely used in the Ukrainian pedagogical science, in particular it is actively used in the works on its development in Ukraine and foreign countries. The definition of the foreign language education as a specifically organized pedagogical process of teaching, upbringing and development of the student’s personality on the basis of the content and means of the discipline “foreign language” has been suggested. Based on the analysis of pedagogical and linguistic literature, the essential characteristics of the phenomenon of “foreign language education” in the aspects of its integrity, axiological orientation, instrumentality, effectiveness and efficiency have been demonstrated. The following basic structural components of the foreign language education have been distinguished and characterized: epistemological (knowledge of the country’s culture and languages); educational (language knowledge and skills as a means of communication); developmental (the psychological and mental characteristics of native speakers and the cultural values of a particular country); educational (the pedagogical content of a foreign-language culture, concerning its moral, ethical, aesthetic and other aspects).

The second decade of the 21st century has experienced a burst in the creation and use of interactive digital media. Bringing together the traditional media forms (photographs and moving images, music, and text) and computer and communication technologies, digital media causes certain bluring of the boundaries between real and virtual reality, creators and consumers, introducing a dynamic interactive computing environment that requires new theoretical approaches as well as practical methods for development and appropriate implementation in daily life of “digital natives”. Under such circumstances of society development, the issue of person’s identity (or identities) brings about totally new concepts, perceptions, and reasoning, which become especially up-to-date in relation to the education process of young people at the transition stage in their life.In pursuit of better understanding of digital identity that has recently become the subject matter of numerous studies in various domains, this paper aims to define the phenomenon under study and outline its key features in relation to Identity Theory. Drawing upon interdisciplinary research on digital identity and media discourse, this analysis begins with an overview of definitions of digital identity. Furthermore, the article traces the ways such identity is verified and performed, looking at possibilities provided by online communication platforms. Finally, based on the current literature analysis, the paper discusses the model of digital identity construction (created by Peter Burke and Jan Stets and consisting of four constituent elements: input, identity standard, comparator and output), its further implications for pedagogical contexts, with the purpose of establishing appropriate platforms for “healthy” (positive) identity construction process. The opportunities provided by online interaction for promotion of relatedness and self-determination as the most relevant phenomena to be forced in young adults for the coherent construction of their identity have been discussed in the article.Funding.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/). The article covers the problem of periodization of the literary process in Western Ukraine in the period from the late 18th century to the 1930s in the aspect of the history of pedagogy. It has been proved that the development of the literary process periodization of the studied period in the historical and pedagogical aspect requires a development of a special methodological program of interdisciplinary character, consisting of three main blocks: 1) literary studies; 2) educational and pedagogical; 3) constructing the periodization in the context of the problem under study. Each of these components is described in detail by the authors. It is noted that an analysis of representative research did not reveal a productive experience in the development of a holistic regional periodization of the literary process in Western Ukraine, but the scholars have deeply studied its individual stages and trends, which creates the basis for the reconstruction of the dynamics of this phenomenon, which was transformed and modified under the influence of political regimes and the European and the Dnieper Ukrainian writers. In the context of the problem under investigation, the presented periodisations indicate that the literary process in Western Ukraine in the period from the late 18th century to the 1930s was backed by a significant tradition of national writing and fits in with the overall scheme of its development. In the regional projection, it has its peculiarities caused by the well-known socio-historical and cultural factors, which become even more pronounced in Galicia, Bukovina, Transcarpathia, Volhynia. It is stated that the literary process in Western Ukraine in the period from the late 18th century to the 1930s, determined by various socio-political and cultural factors, was a complex, multidimensional, polystructural phenomenon that makes up a distinct vivid page in the history of Ukrainian culture and literature. Due to the integration of the writers’ powerful intellectual potential, we consider it as a unique productive component of the development of the national pedagogical thought in Ukraine. In the historical pedagogical aspect five major periods of development of the Western Ukrainian literary process can be identified: 1) ecclesiastical educational (mid 1870s ‒ 1820s), divided into two stages: 1772‒1805 and 1806‒1820s.); 2) enlightenment (1830s ‒ first half of 1870’s, divided into two stages, the turning point being 1848); 3) activation of the literary life in the second half of the 1870s ‒ 1914; 4) the war and revolutionary upheavals of 1914 ‒ 1919/20; 5) the interwar period of the twentieth century, divided into two stages – the 1920s and the 1930s. Each of these periods has its own features and peculiarities of ideological and artistic character, expressed in the artistic reflections of a wide range of problems of education, upbringing and personality development.Funding.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ ). The article studies the history and the current state of the professional training in health informatics in Canada. The specifics of healthcare informatization in Canada as a precondition for its formation are analyzed. At its initial stages, the computer technology was implemented into the provincial and territorial healthcare institutions slowly and unevenly. The computerization policy was decentralized, and this did not promote an effective medical information exchange. Thus, at the beginning of the 2000s, Canada set course for the centralized healthcare informatization. It required a qualified workforce and became a catalyst for the development of professional training in health informatics in Canada. A retrospective analysis of the professional training in health informatics development in Canada is conducted. The research reveals that in its development professional training in health informatics has gone through the pre-institutional phase (the 1960s – 1980), which laid the basis for the appearance and further development of professional training in health informatics, and the institutional phase (1981 – till present time), when it began to be implemented into the Canadian higher educational institutions. The characteristic features of the institutional phase include the rise of health informatics as an academic speciality; the conceptualization of professional training in health informatics; the rapid increase in the number of health informatics professional programs in the mid 2000s; the unification of methodological, scientific framework for training health informatics professionals. The current state of the professional training in health informatics in Canada is studied. It is concluded that the Canadian system of the health informatics professional training is built on the principles of degree education and life-long learning. The educational process is organized in such a way that future health informatics professionals can receive a credential at different levels of the higher education, in particular a health informatics diploma or certificate in the non-degree granting institutions and Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD degrees at universities. The analysis of the professional training content in health informatics enables to state that its development depends on the level of the higher education and is characterized by various combinations of academic disciplines in the health informatics curriculum within three knowledge domains – information sciences, health sciences, and management.

The article substantiates the importance of the family environment (the mother’s social activity; the father’s writing talent) and the socio-cultural conditions (formation of the world outlook in the conditions of activization of the social and political life in all Ukrainian lands) as determinants of Kostiantyna Malytska’s becoming a social figure, writer and educator. Three stages are distinguished (Halych, Bukovyna, Lviv), her public-educational, pedagogical and literary activity at each of them has been characterized. It has been stated that the pedagogical activity included: teaching in Halych, Luzhany near Chernivtsi, in Lviv and Krasnoyarsk; and organizational activity – heading the first Ukrainian Shevchenko RTS Girls’ School in Lviv, establishment of the first Ukrainian Kotlyarevsky National School in Krasnoyarsk, etc. It has been determined that the main spheres of the public and educational activity of Kostiantyna Malytska were: organization and active participation in women’s and public associations of the region (foundation of the Prosvita reading rooms, Women’s Associations in different cities of the region, Anna Barvinok Circle in Lviv; a close cooperation with the first Ukrainian preschool society “Ukrainian Kindergarten”, with “Prosvita”, the P. Mohyla Scientific Society). The analysis of the literary heritage of Kostiantyna Malytska shows that in numerous stories on educational topics, scientific research and popular science articles, she not only showed the real state of Ukrainian schooling within the Austro-Hungarian and Polish states, but also theoretically substantiated the conceptual foundations of the mother-tongue national school, formulated its purpose, tasks, the content of education, requirements to the teacher.

The article focuses on the history of child sciences in Ukraine; the emergence of the paedological movement, which was spread worldwide in the early 20th century world, is demonstrated; the scientific origins of the knowledge about the child are examined and on this basis the approaches that determined the areas of research in this field are characterized. It has been found that the paedology being singled out was caused by two scientific factors: on the one hand, the scientists accumulated psychological and pedagogical experimental knowledge, looking for ways to improve the pedagogical process, methods and techniques of teaching; on the other, the achievements of the natural sciences intensified the study of man in general, which also caused the attention to the childhood period. The early twentieth century was marked by pluralism of opinions, approaches, and areas of study of the child. Specialists in various scientific fields tried to explain the features of the child’s physical, mental, spiritual, and social development, paying special attention to the detection of pathologies. The paedology synthesized all the major scientific studies and achievements related to the development of the child’s personality. The influence of this science on the further development of pedagogy, psychology, and defectology was decisive. It has been proved that the greatest rise of paedology was in the 1920s. Its content was characterized by psychological, anatomical, physiological, biological and sociological approaches to the development of the child. In Ukraine, the essence of child sciences has been expanded thanks to a cultural and historical approach. It is emphasized that the source of modern child sciences (child psychology, pedagogical psychology, social pedagogy, special pedagogy and psychology, paedeutology, school hygiene, ethnography of childhood, genetic psychology, child psychiatry, psychology of labor and human behavioral biology) was paedology.Funding.

The article methodologically justifies and determines the educational potential of the socio-cultural environment of the Ukrainian Carpathian region in the process of interdisciplinary discourse that is relevant in the context of educational and socio-cultural research. The essence of sociocultural environment as one of the environment formation components of a certain region is described. The purpose of the study is to reveal the essence of socio-cultural environment of the educational institutions in the Ukrainian Carpathians region as a subject of interdisciplinary discourse in the context of ensuring Ukrainian regions sustainable development. The socio-economic, socio-cultural, educational and environmental problems of educational establishments and the psycho-pedagogical and socio-cultural conditions of their formation are distinguished. Sociological methods, content analysis of scientific publications, methods of system analysis, synthesis, and scientific abstraction were used in the research. The scientific reflection of the research is aimed at understanding how the authentic heritage of regional culture determine the real state and dynamics of culture and education environment development of this unique in all features and characteristics area. The authors present the interpretation of the region characteristics as a component of the socio-cultural environment, which determines the scientific and philosophical knowledge and modern interpretation of this multifaceted phenomenon. They reveal the essence of interdisciplinary discourse on the formation of Ukrainian Carpathian region socio-cultural environment, point to the peculiarities of the Ukraine regions as relatively independent units, formed on the basis and due to the interaction of territorial and natural conditions, common history, culture and language, demographic, social and economic indicators. A successful solution of the problems facing the society requires the analysis of the basic components of a long-term process formation of a certain region socio-cultural environment in order to determine the promising directions of its further sustainable development. The subject of the interdisciplinary scientific discourse is the Ukrainian Carpathians region. The formation of its cultural and educational environment is based on historically accumulated rich ethno-cultural experience, a unique originality of the cultural heritage and ancient traditions, the achievements of the national pedagogy. It has been determined that in modern humanities the category of environment acquires the character of a metaphor, by means of which various spaces and environments are described, both in physical extent and in its mental or virtual essence. For successful solution of mentioned problems, the strategic goal of these territories development must be creation of effective educational and socio-cultural life support systems that will be able to contribute to their sustainable development. The authors emphasize that the definition of “environment” is the most suitable for describing phenomena that have qualitative characteristics of extent, meaningfulness and representation. The main problems and prospects of preserving the identity of the region are revealed. Acknowledgments.

Open Journal System in the Era of Paperless Papers

With the start of 2020, we have entered a new decade with the never-ending challenges of the developing world. One of the challenges is the barrier against access to the latest scientific knowledge. To cope with this barrier it is indispensable that the current scientific literature should be made freely available to the resource-constrained countries like Pakistan. Pakistan Journal of Ophthalmology has taken a step forward and joined the club of open access journals through “Open Journal System” (OJS).
