Yes, this is true - although successive upgrades are making things slightly easier. Surveillance & Society has run on OJS for , and the best thing about it is the semi-automation of the workflow process (submission, reviewing etc.). However, it is perhaps unnecessarily complex with too many mandatory steps, which put off the technophobic authors and referees. Other major problems include an inability to mass delete registered users, articles and comments, which makes fake sign-ons and trolls difficult to deal with.
