The project involved the development of two plug-ins for <a href="http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs" target="_blank">Open Journal Systems</a>, a system for managing and publishing journals. Open Journal Systems (OJS) is the most frequently used open source package worldwide for academic journals. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

</span></b><span style="line-height:150%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">OJS is used internationally to promote and increase access to research results. It is used for more than 10,000 journals. The plug-ins developed during the EJME project add capabilities to OJS. The <a href="http://www.uva.nl/" target="_blank">University of Amsterdam</a>, <a href="http://www.uu.nl/" target="_blank">Utrecht University</a>, <a href="http://www.dans.knaw.nl/" target="_blank">DANS</a> (Data Archiving and Network Services), and <a href="http://www.aup.nl/" target="_blank">Amsterdam University Press</a> have made use of a tried-and-tested system for creating enhanced publications so as to stick as close as possible to the publication process used by researchers. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

</span></b><span style="line-height:150%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">Authors and editors who use OJS can now easily add data files to articles, including the associated metadata. The data files are then available – without any extra action being necessary – for everyone involved in the editorial process, including peer reviewers. When the article is published, there are references to the datasets, both on the webpage and in a machine-readable file. It is also important that the editorial team can make it possible for the data to be automatically submitted to a reliable data repository when the article is published. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="line-height:150%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">According to <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jeroen-sondervan/3/aa2/36a" target="_blank">Jeroen Sondervan</a> (Amsterdam University Press), “This integration of research data and results on the one hand and publications on the other creates a completely new way of assessing, verifying, and publishing. The combination of OJS and the EJME plug-ins brings this a step closer.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>

The plug-ins that have been developed have been tested in practice by two journals published by two different publishers:<br>
• <a href="http://dpc.uba.uva.nl/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=jalc" target="_blank">Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries</a> (JALC), published by Amsterdam University Press (AUP)<br>• <a href="http://www.thecommonsjournal.org/" target="_blank">International Journal of the Commons</a> (IJC), published by UBU/Igitur Publishing.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
