Journal Website Design & Development

A journal publication website is an online platform for showcasing research and articles. It helps you present your publication digitally, making it easier to reach a wider audience than just print copies.

Many publishers spend heavily on print magazine operations but often overlook the importance of their journal website. However, with advertisers increasingly interested in placing ads online, there is a growing trend to allocate budgets for website design projects. Investing in a journal website enhances advertising opportunities and improves the overall performance of your publication brand, making it a vital part of your strategy.

Yes, OJS is an ISSN Accepted website. You need to ensure your OJS-based website meets ISSN requirements during development, which we take care of during the design process.

OJS provides the technical infrastructure that supports Google Scholar indexing (proper meta tags, stable URLs, PDF accessibility). However, actual indexing depends on multiple factors beyond our control including: content quality, plagiarism-free articles, DOI registration, ISSN number, verified publication details, and Google Scholar's own review process. We ensure your website meets all technical requirements - the content quality is your responsibility.

We provide technical assistance to configure your OJS website to meet indexing requirements (meta tags, XML exports, sitemaps, etc.). However, indexing approval depends on factors like content quality, peer-review processes, and each platform's own criteria. We help technically - content quality and editorial standards are publisher responsibilities. Learn more in our Knowledge Base.
