Our Services
Everything your journal needs, under one roof, from the first OJS install to Scopus-ready indexing.

ISSN Registration
The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is your journal's official global identity. Without an ISSN, your journal cannot be listed in major directories, databases or library catalogues. We prepare all required documents and guide you through the application process with the international ISSN centre.
What’s included
- Online ISSN (e-ISSN) for your digital journal
- Print ISSN for print versions, where applicable
- Full document preparation covering journal title, scope, editorial board and cover page requirements
- Application form completion, filled correctly the first time
- Step by step submission guidance with the international ISSN centre
- Follow-up and communication support until the ISSN is officially issued
- ISSN display setup on your OJS journal, correctly placed in the header and metadata
DOI Registration (Crossref)
A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a permanent link to your published articles and the international standard for citing academic research. Every serious journal needs Crossref DOIs. Without them, researchers cannot properly cite your articles and your journal loses credibility. We handle the complete Crossref setup for you.
What’s included
- Crossref membership registration
- DOI prefix setup, giving your journal its unique DOI identifier such as 10.XXXXX
- DOI plugin full installation and configuration in OJS
- DOI pattern setup for automatic assignment on every article
- Bulk DOI deposit for your first issue, so all articles get DOIs immediately
- Crossref Similarity Check (iThenticate) integration for plagiarism screening at submission
- DOI metadata deposit testing, verifying that every DOI resolves correctly
- Training on how to deposit DOIs for future issues
Journal Indexing
Being indexed in major academic databases is what makes your journal visible to researchers worldwide. Indexing drives submissions, citations and credibility. We help you prepare, apply for and get listed in the directories that matter most.

- DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), with application preparation and submission
