Our Services

One Partner for Every Stage of Journal Management

From technical infrastructure to editorial support — we handle the operational side of your journal so your editorial team can focus on manuscript quality.

OJS Installation & Hosting

Full hosting setup on servers optimized for OJS, installation of the latest version, a premium responsive theme, and initial configuration — ready to publish within hours.

Zero-Downtime Migration

Already running OJS elsewhere? We move your entire archive, user data, and journal settings to our infrastructure without interrupting access for authors or readers.

Editorial & Peer Review Management

Day-to-day workflow support: incoming submissions, reviewer assignment, deadline reminders, and editorial decisions aligned with COPE and ICMJE guidelines.

Proofreading & Academic Editing

Language and academic-style editing by experienced editors, helping authors' arguments come through clearly and in line with international scholarly writing conventions.

Backup, Security & Infrastructure

Full server backups and daily database backups, with copies stored in separate cloud storage to protect your journal's archive from data loss.

Indexing Support

Readiness audits, editorial policy and publication ethics adjustments, and guided application support for DOAJ, Scopus, and SINTA accreditation.
