The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) is a multi-university initiative that develops open-source software to improve the quality and reach of scholarly publishing. Based at Simon Fraser University, PKP is best known for its flagship software, Open Journal Systems (OJS), which is widely used to manage and publish scholarly journals. The project supports the creation and management of academic publications, promoting open access to research and knowledge. PKP also engages in community-building and research activities related to scholarly communication.
