WHAT_YOU_GET

Four Pieces of Infrastructure.
All Handled.

Every academic journal needs the same foundations. We've built them for over 1,000 journals — each one runs to a defined process, on a defined timeline.

01 — DOMAIN & HOSTING

Your journal, live on AWS
in under 48 hours.

We register your domain, configure DNS, install SSL, and deploy your hosting on AWS infrastructure purpose-built for academic publishing. 99.9% uptime guaranteed, email accounts included from day one.

  • Custom .com / .net / .org domain registered
  • AWS hosting — Plesk, PHP 8.2, MySQL
  • SSL certificate — auto-renewing, Let's Encrypt
  • 3 professional email accounts (10 on Pro+)
  • 99.9% uptime SLA, daily backups on Pro+

04 — INDEXING

Indexed in Google Scholar
from your first issue.

Indexing is what makes your journal discoverable. We configure all the metadata signals Google Scholar needs and submit to ROAD so your journal appears in searches the moment your first articles go live.

  • Google Scholar indexing from first published issue
  • DOI registration (Managed Scholarly Publishing)
  • ROAD — Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources
  • OAI-PMH configured for automated metadata harvest
  • Pathway guidance toward DOAJ and Web of Science
