Scientific journals are the main medium for the dissemination of research results and are the fundamental pillar of scientific communication because, in addition, they are a record of the intellectual and cultural work of countries, regions and the world. Technology has changed the workflow of researchers and editorial teams, allowing the possibility of managing the entire production of a scientific journal online. This change in format offers the possibility of applying the protocols and requirements established by the main indexes, repertoires and databases for the indexing of scientific journals. Currently, the OJS (Open Journal System) software developed by the Public Knowledge Project, allows the administration and publication of scientific journals, managing all stages of journal production, from submitting an article to its subsequent indexing and publication.

The objective of this work is to analyze the contribution of the OJS software for the management of the scientific journals of the National University of Salta, establishing new ways to communicate and disseminate scientific production digitally. The work methodology will consist of tracking the scientific journals produced at the National University of Salta that are using this digital platform and from there, determine which contributions / contributions this software provided in each case
