Free, open source software for open access journal publishing is available for those wishing to start up new journals, for example, the Open Journal Systems (OJS) ^{[http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/]} developed by the Public Knowledge Project ^{[http://www.pkp.ubc.ca/index.html]} and HyperJournal ^{[http://www.hjournal.org/]} developed by volunteers, but now partially funded by the political science faculty of Pisa University ^{[http://www.hjournal.org/team]} . While OJS and HyperJournal are designed for academic publishing, they can be used by anyone; there is a group of grade 8 girls in Vancouver, British Columbia, who use OJS to publish their own peer-reviewed journal.
