Abstract

Research articles play an important role in the advancement of education because they stimulate people to think critically, creatively, and innovatively in evaluating the education that has been taken. Research-based education can be pursued either systematically or non-systematically. The more researchers produce research articles, the more forums are needed for the publication of research articles that can be accessed by all users. Many journal management system applications have emerged such as OJS, Edas, Easychair, and Eprint. In this study, we will test the reliability of OJS from the point of view of the authors and reviewers and compare it with other applications. The OJS (Open Journal System) platform is a platform used by a website-based CMS (Content Management System) that is devoted to handling the process of publishing research articles starting from calls for papers and peer reviews to publishing in online form through the OJS platform. The Faculty of Engineering, Surabaya State University has several electronic journals that actively manage the publication of electronic articles, including the journals INAJEEE, INAJET, and Journal of Electrical Engineering. The three journals use the open-source OJS journal management system version 3.2. This journal is freely accessible to anyone without user restrictions. The scope of the three journals is technically oriented. Selection of authors and reviewers based on their region. In this study, we analyse the effectiveness and efficiency of using the OJS 3.2 open-source journal management system platform for electronic publications from various perspectives, including from the point of view of the author and reviewer, and also pay attention to some of the advantages, disadvantages, convenience, and difficulties of using it. The analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of this platform uses the Thurstone scale quantitative method with the author's and reviewer's subject questionnaires. The number of respondents used was 83 from the authors and reviewers. From the Thurstone scale analysis, it can be seen that the experiences of the authors and reviewers in using OJS 3.2 have a positive attitude or strongly agree with the ease of use of the OJS 3.2 platform in operating electronic article publications. 70 reviewers and authors stated that the OJS application could be very easy to use when registering, logging in, submitting, and reviewing articles and 70 reviewers and authors with percentage 84% stated that the OJS application could be directly provide updates on the process of articles and publish in OJS 3.2.
