Support Open-Source OJS Plugins for Academic Publishing

I build and maintain open-source plugins for Open Journal Systems (OJS) used by academic journals across Africa and around the world.

My projects include (with more to come):

  • PaystackOJS — Paystack payment gateway integration supporting NGN, USD, GHS, ZAR, KES, XOF, and more.
  • FlutterwaveOJS — Flutterwave payment gateway integration with hosted checkout and support for multiple African and international currencies.
  • OJS Magic Login — Passwordless sign-in for OJS, making access simpler and more secure for journal users.

These plugins help under-resourced journals collect article processing charges (APCs), subscriptions, and other payments securely without requiring expensive payment infrastructure or custom development.

Why sponsorship matters

Maintaining OJS plugins requires ongoing work:

  • Compatibility updates for new OJS and PKP releases
  • Security reviews and fixes
  • Bug reports and issue triage
  • Documentation improvements
  • Testing across different hosting environments
  • User support for journals and publishers

Your sponsorship helps ensure these tools remain reliable, secure, and freely available to the scholarly publishing community.

Sponsor Benefits

Sponsors automatically receive access to the private Payment Method Support addon.

This addon includes:

  • In-app editing of payment-related email templates through Settings → Emails
  • A Payment History link in the user navigation
  • Automatic access within one hour of starting a sponsorship
  • Continued access for as long as the sponsorship remains active

Thank you for helping sustain open-source infrastructure for academic publishing.
