OJS is an open-source software program and like other similar programs, periodical OJS upgrades are essential for providing safe, high-performance, compatible, and effective platforms for your users. Security is arguably the most important reason why you should always have your OJS up-to-date. An out -of-date OJS site, puts at risk your OJS security and misses out on new features/improvements that have been recently added. Your OJS should be updated about 1-2 times per year.

Before the start of any OJS upgrade, we will perform a complete backup of your database and important files. This step guarantees that, on the off chance that there is a failure during the OJS upgrade process, we can restore all your data and bring you back to your current installation. We are committed to providing a stress-free experience in which you end up using the latest version.
