Abstract

The development of new courses, the preparedness of instructors, and the Covid 19 pandemic have each contributed to the emergence of difficulties at universities. This research examines the possibility for Open Journal Systems (OJS), which was hitherto merely a manager of periodic electronic scientific publications, to become a new learning platform for thesis proposal development courses (TPD) during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is based on two factors: (1) the features of the OJS editorial review process that are used in the consultation process between supervisors and students; and (2) the recording function of OJS that will store assistance data along with the results of the review that are organized in a review article session that is divided into multiple sections in OJS. Students are required to be able to generate a thesis proposal and comprehend the scientific publication process, which is a requirement for graduating from their program of study.
