Advancing Research Through DataCite’s Global Access Fund: Mekelle University, Ethiopia - DataCite

Mekelle University (MU), founded in 2000 and located in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia, is a research-intensive institution dedicated to advancing knowledge, economic growth, and social welfare both nationally and internationally. As a founding member of the Ethiopian Research Universities Forum in 2025, MU is committed to elevating the visibility and impact of Ethiopian research on the global stage. A significant part of this mission involves ensuring our research is visible, accessible, and impactful. However, a critical gap was identified: a vast repository of valuable scholarly outputs, including postgraduate theses, dissertations, and datasets, remained largely invisible to the global research community because they lacked persistent identifiers (PIDs) like Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). This made them difficult to cite, track, and reuse, limiting their potential impact.

The back-end itself is in the process of being migrated from F1000 to OJS...

Oh, that's good news. I feel more comfortable with #OJS than with #F1000.

I need advice to secure a web server. I am currently managing an OJS server at my University. This server is often attacked, such as with PHP script injections, to cause malfunction or online gambling contents. What I have done so far:
1. Set permissions (the user owns all PHP scripts instead of www-data, these files are often modified by a third party)
2. File access monitoring ( I log every access that happens in the doc root)
3. daily backup

Lots of folks are asking about #OpenResearchEurope migrating to #OpenJournalSystems!

We're advancing #OJS features to underpin #OpenResearchEurope already, and the migration will take place in 2026, with OJS version 3.6.

Here's the 3.6 Public Roadmap: https://github.com/orgs/pkp/projects/32/views/2

We'll be sharing an announcement next week, and will be hosting a public webinar January 23, 2025, 8:00 - 9:00 AM PST (it will be recorded). Registration will be open soon.

Stay tuned for these announcements!
