Title: OJS: Innovating for Everyone
Authors: Pedro López Casique (eScire)
Abstract: With the upgrade of OJS, we can read content on a mobile device and have different themes for a better web design. But will this increase the visibility and positioning so that any person with internet access can read or consult the papers in a better way? Is OJS really for everyone? If OJS was upgraded, we have to do the same. We have to think differently and work differently. We need to innovate for people with disability by designing,
developing, and implementing tools that facilitate reading, by customizing site colors and texts, and by facilitating access from the keyboard. These are just a few examples from the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines by W3C.
