JORN website

The public website for the Journal of the Open Research Network (JORN), a proposed community-governed, Diamond Open Access overlay journal supported by Open Science Labs.

Local development

Create the Conda environment and preview the site:

conda env create -f conda.yaml
conda activate jorn
makim pages.preview

To produce a clean static build:

makim pages.build

MkDocs writes the generated site to build/.

Project structure

• pages/ — journal content and browser assets
• theme/ — custom MkDocs/Jinja templates
• mkdocs.yml — navigation, metadata, and build configuration
• PLAN.md — concept, governance, and implementation reference

The custom theme is intentionally dependency-light. It includes responsive navigation, client-side search, accessible interaction patterns, and reusable editorial components without a frontend build step.
