Janeway
Mission
Key Achievements
The Janeway team have been working with Educopia, CDL and UNC on the Next Generation Library Publishing project. Specifically we have worked on features enabling users to run Janeway in headless mode (without a public website) and linking Janeway to Meru (unified display layer).
The team also continues to work with CDL on eScholarship, onto which journals have started migrating. We've also worked together to develop the Janeway repository system which is now in active use, primarily hosting Preprint servers (https://eartharxiv.org/, https://ecoevorxiv.org/, https://preprints.inggrid.org/).
Although compared to other open source platforms we're considered niche and very much humanities based we've welcomed quite a few new partners in the last year including various organisations who are running Janeway themselves (CMU, CDL, Sissa Media Lab, TU Vien) and for whom we providing hosing (including: UMass Amherst, University of Gent, University of Iowa, Aperio Press)
