bepress Digital Commons → OJS 3.x
OLA Quarterly / Oregon State University
The OLA Quarterly, a journal of the Oregon Library Association hosted by Oregon State University, migrated an archival run of 93 issues from bepress Digital Commons to OJS 3.x. The team declined the standard PKP migration plugin because of documented data-loss risks (including cover-art omission) and instead built a controlled, custom pipeline using Python and XSLT to convert exported Digital Commons CSV into PKP Native XML. The migration succeeded and produced open-source XSLT tools shared with the library community. A US example of a bespoke, metadata-careful journal migration to OJS.
