Have you heard of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP)? PKP is an Open Journal System founded in 1998 by Dr John Wonsky a Prof at the University of British Columbia. PKP is a non-profit university-based initiative doing research & development in scholarly publishing with its research home base at Stanford University in the US. This initiative was birthed by the need to connect the general public to the knowledge that is created by Universities.
