Journal Hosting & Peer-Review
A managed platform and full editorial workflow for scholarly journals.
Everything a journal needs to run — submissions, peer review, production, and a permanently preserved archive — operated by our team.
Overview
We host and operate scholarly journals end to end. Authors submit through a managed platform, editors run peer review with purpose-built tools, and accepted articles move into professional production and a permanently preserved archive. Your editorial board keeps full control of scholarly decisions; we handle the infrastructure, workflow, and production behind them.
Articles are assigned DOIs and preserved through our CLOCKSS partnership, and reach the libraries and readers already in our distribution network.
Our approach
A hosted journal runs on a clear, repeatable workflow. Authors submit through a managed portal, your editors run peer review with purpose-built tools, accepted articles move into production and receive a DOI, and every published article is preserved. You own the scholarship; we own the machinery.
Because the workflow is documented and consistent, the journal behaves predictably issue after issue — which is exactly what libraries and indexing databases want to see.
