Bring your journal to OJSBR.Managed hosting and specialized technical support for OJS and OMP portals, with DOI registration at no annual fee.
DOI registration for articles, books and chapters.
OJSBR is an official Crossref sponsor for Latin America and Portugal, covering all Crossref services such as DOI and Similarity Check. There is no annual fee: you pay as you go, per registration package or per single deposit.
DOI for articles and books
Registration and management of DOIs for journals (OJS) and books/chapters (OMP), correctly deposited at Crossref.
Similarity Check
Crossref's official similarity checking (Turnitin) available for journals hosted with us.
Free portability
Journals that already have DOIs can transfer management to OJSBR at no cost. ISSN and prefix assistance included.
OJS and OMP specialists
We work across the entire lifecycle of a scholarly journal, from migration to the editorial routine.
DOI for books and chapters directly in OMP
OMP still lacks an official Crossref registration plugin. The plugin developed by OJSBR fills that gap: it registers and exports DOIs for books and chapters directly from the platform. Open source, available to any press.
