Publicly funded, open source
The Open Source Academic Publishing Suite.
OS-APS is the easy way to self-host structured publishing — built for smaller teams that want professional typesetting (PrinceXML preferred, or Paged.js) and lightweight workflows, without live collaboration to maintain. Because it shares the same open editor core, your content stays compatible with OJS and the SciFlow platform. And if you'd rather not host it yourself, SciFlow-hosted options are available.

OS-APS keeps the workflow lightweight — no live collaboration to maintain, just structured writing and professional typesetting on your own infrastructure. And it scales: NiedersachsenOpen runs OS-APS for the entire state of Lower Saxony, supported by SciFlow.
