Overview

About our Journal Website Design

An academic journal website is a workflow system with a public face. Behind the articles sit submissions, reviewer assignments, revision rounds, editorial decisions and production — and if that workflow is awkward, editors end up running the journal from email anyway.

We design and build journal websites for universities, societies and independent publishers across India, using Open Journal Systems where it fits and custom platforms where it does not. We handle the parts that determine whether a journal gets indexed: persistent URLs, proper metadata, DOI registration and archiving.

What you get

What our Journal Website Design includes

OJS Setup And Customisation

Author submission, editor assignment, blind peer review, revision rounds and decisions — tracked in one place.

DOI And Metadata

Crossref DOI registration and clean metadata, which is what indexing services actually read.

Indexing-Ready Structure

Article-level pages, persistent URLs, abstracts, keywords and citation metadata prepared for DOAJ, Scopus and Google Scholar.

Archives And Volumes

Volume, issue and article organisation with full-text HTML and PDF, searchable and citable.

Plagiarism And Ethics Tools

Integration with similarity checking and publication ethics workflows.

How we work

From brief to live website

  1. Brief and sitemap

    What the site has to achieve, who it is for, and the pages needed to get there — agreed before any design starts.

  2. Design, phone first

    Layouts designed for mobile first and approved by you before build, because changing a design is cheap and changing a built page is not.

  3. Build and load content

    A fast, SEO-ready build with your content in place, on a staging link you can review throughout.

  4. Launch and hand over

    Go-live on hosting in your name, with admin training so your team can update the site without calling us.

FAQ

Journal Website Design — frequently asked questions

Do you work with Open Journal Systems (OJS)?
Yes. We install, configure, theme and customise OJS, including plugins, DOI registration and workflow adjustments. Where a journal needs something OJS cannot do, we build a custom platform instead.
Can you help us get indexed in DOAJ or Scopus?
We build the technical foundations those bodies require — article-level metadata, persistent URLs, archiving policy and clean citation data. The editorial criteria are yours to meet, but the platform will not be the reason an application fails.
Can you migrate our existing journal archive?
Yes. We migrate back issues from older platforms or PDF archives, including metadata extraction so old articles are searchable and citable.
Do you support DOI registration?
Yes. We set up Crossref DOI registration and automate deposit so each published article receives a persistent identifier.
