AIJANS using the Universitas Andalas own OJS Theme

2026-11-08

We are pleased to announce that starting in early November 2026, the Andalasian International Journal of Agricultural and Natural Sciences (AIJANS) (https://aijans.lppm.unand.ac.id/index.php/aijans/index) has officially adopted the new Universitas Andalas Theme for Open Journal Systems (OJS).

Developed specifically for scholarly journals published at Universitas Andalas, this new interface brings a cleaner, faster, and more accessible reading and publishing experience while preserving all existing article links, DOIs, and submission workflows.

Key Highlights of the New Interface
  • Official Universitas Andalas Visual Identity: A modern, responsive layout with structured homepage access to Journal Information, Current Issue, Latest Articles, and Journal Updates.
  • Integrated Full-Text Reader: Readers can now view full-text articles directly within the article landing page via an integrated PDF.js viewer or download the PDF directly.
  • Richer Article Metadata Display: Enhanced presentation of author affiliations with country flags, ORCID iDs, publication history dates, DOIs, graphical abstracts, clickable keywords, one-click citation formats (How to Cite), licensing information, and related articles.
  • Usage Metrics & Author Distribution: Transparent article and issue usage statistics (abstract views and PDF downloads) alongside an Authors by Country overview on issue and archive pages.
  • Structured Policy & Guideline Pages: Clear document navigation with an interactive On this page outline for journal policies, ethics statements, and author guidelines.

All existing user accounts, ongoing manuscript submissions, peer-review processes, and published article URLs remain unchanged. We invite authors, reviewers, and readers to explore the new AIJANS website.
