Ask a Question
What is OJS and why does my journal need it?
Open Journal Systems (OJS) is the world’s most widely used open-source academic journal management platform, developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). It handles submissions, peer review, editorial workflow, and publishing — all in one place. Most international indexing bodies and HEC require or strongly prefer OJS-based journals, making it the gold standard for academic publishing in Pakistan and globally.
Do you handle Crossref DOI and ISSN registration?
Yes, we handle both. For ISSN, we assist with the complete application process for both Print and Online ISSNs through the International Centre for ISSN. For Crossref DOI, we register your journal as a member and set up automated DOI assignment for all published articles, ensuring permanent citation links for every paper.
How long does the complete journal setup take?
The core OJS setup, domain, hosting, and website design are typically completed within 2–4 weeks. ISSN registration usually takes 4–8 weeks depending on the issuing authority. HEC recognition applications are a longer process (typically 3–6 months), which we manage and track for you. We’ll give you a precise timeline during your initial consultation.
Can you help with HEC journal recognition applications?
Absolutely. HEC journal application is one of our specialized services. We help ensure your journal meets all HEC compliance criteria — including editorial board composition, article formatting, DOI assignment, ISSN registration, and website standards — before we prepare and submit the application on your behalf.
Do you provide support after the journal is launched?
Yes. We offer post-launch technical support, OJS updates and maintenance, editorial workflow guidance, and ongoing indexing assistance. Our team remains available to help with any technical issues, new issue publishing, or platform updates so your editorial team can focus on the research, not the technology.
Can you migrate our existing journal from WordPress to OJS?
Yes. Our WordPress to OJS migration service handles the complete transfer of your existing content including articles, authors, metadata, and user accounts into a properly configured OJS installation. We ensure all existing DOIs and article URLs are preserved wherever possible to avoid broken links in existing citations.
