OJS Network
Architecting a secure, scalable multi-journal ecosystem for national academic publishing centers with zero downtime and hardened infrastructure.
The Challenge
Academic journals like the Nigerian Dental Journal and Nigerian Health Systems Journal required a unified, robust platform to manage complex peer-review workflows, article submissions, and permanent digital archiving.
"Availability and data integrity are non-negotiable for academic publishing. Every article must be securely indexed and permanently accessible to a global audience."
The Strategy
I architected a multi-tenant OJS deployment with isolated PHP-FPM pools for each journal instance to prevent cross-contamination and ensure resource allocation. The infrastructure involves:
Hardened Security
Zero breaches since implementation through strict firewall rules and SSL/TLS optimization.
SMTP Isolation
Custom mail delivery pipelines optimized for 100% deliverability of time-sensitive peer review invites.
Uptime Reliability
99.99%
Continuous global access for research citation.
Deliverability Rate
100%
Zero missed peer-review notifications.
