  • Migration. Will TDL migrate my existing OA journal to a TDL-hosted OJS journal? TDL can on occasion provide support for migration of OJS journals hosted elsewhere, assuming staff capacity. It does not currently provide system administration support for journals currently housed in other platforms (such as WordPress or BePress). That said, OJS does come itself comes with import tools and a Quick Submit plugin that can help Journal Teams move issue and article archives into a new TDL-hosted journal.
