This paper discusses findings from the DEFF e-journals project (2004-2005) focused on boosting small offline scholarly journals through online visibility and open access (OA). In the context of two pilot journals (CJAS and MatScan), the study emphasizes the cultural shifts needed among editors, the necessity of consider realistic needs and technology choices, and the supportive role of university libraries. It details various systems for peer review, administration, and e-publishing, including the MetaJournal platform based on open-source software, and suggests future steps for enhancing article visibility and accessibility.
