Memberships and Partnerships

IRABCS has always supported new and evolving ideas in scholarly publishing. To provide an even better service for our IRABCS community, we have and are partnering with leading companies and associations in the scientific field and beyond.

OJS

IRABCS is now linked with OJS 3.4, which means that IRABCS users can now take advantage of all the features that OJS 3.4 has to offer. This includes a more user-friendly interface, improved performance, and new features such as article-level metrics and support for multiple languages. The integration of IRABCS with OJS 3.4 is a significant development, as it will make it easier for scholars to publish their work with IRABCS. OJS 3.4 is a widely used open-source journal management system that is used by thousands of journals around the world. The integration will allow IRABCS to leverage the features of OJS 3.4 to provide a better publishing experience for its authors and editors.
