Your journal, set up and kept running.
We install, theme, host and maintain Open Journal Systems for universities, so your editors focus on the research and we look after the server.

Questions
Do you host the journal or do we?
Either. We can install OJS on your university's server, or host it for you on a managed server and connect it to your domain.
Can you move our existing journal?
Yes. We migrate the database, articles, issues and user accounts, and upgrade OJS in the process if you are on an old version.
Will the journal use our university domain?
Yes. We work with your IT office to point a subdomain like journal.university.edu to the site and set up SSL.
Do you train our editors?
Yes. Every setup includes a walkthrough of the editorial workflow: submissions, assigning reviewers, decisions and publishing an issue.
