OPeri: Open Periodical Publishing Platform
An easy-to-use system for publishing Open Access journals
OPeri is a system designed for digitizing small journals, periodicals or other serial content. It is especially useful for libraries and other institutions with limited resources wishing to provide a digital platform for existing in-house print periodicals. OPeri has a small digital footprint and will work on many small servers. Out of the box, it can function quickly as a way to get small print publications online in a more easily accessible format.
Storage of data is designed to be compatible with digital archiving of periodicals. Articles are uploaded in PDF format, preserving original formatting. Functionality exists for cataloging all pages of the publication to preserve a historical record, but also with the ability to choose which types of items become visible to the public.

- Student Publications
- College/University Publications
- Department Newsletters
- Conference Proceedings
