Usability has become an opinion-making process in recent years with the desire to compete with the quality of the product and service offered on web platforms. The objective of this article is how to measure the usability on the Open Journal Systems platform that the Technical University of Manabí has around the fact that universities and academic institutions have this tool for their scientific dissemination at a global level. From the methodological point of view, this study is based on the bibliographic review as sources of information were investigated in databases such as: Redalyc, Scielo, Dialnet or other scientific repository based on these platforms; also collecting data with the SIRIUS method (Web Usability Evaluation System oriented to the user and based on the determination of tasks). Defining as well as usability is a measure in which a product or software can be used by a specific user to obtain points of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction. Concluding, that the usability before the heuristic method is a method validated by experts, easy and applicable in research websites or university libraries.
