International Journal Websites

Why it matters

A journal is judged by its website before anyone reads a paper. Authors check the aims and scope, the editorial board, the review policy and the publication ethics statement before they submit. Indexing services and databases look for consistent article pages, clear metadata and a stable archive. A journal run from an email inbox and a few loose PDFs struggles on all these counts, however good its editorial work is. A well-organised site makes the journal look and work like a serious publication.

We build journal websites with all the standard pages: aims and scope, editorial board with affiliations, author guidelines, peer review policy, publication ethics, copyright and licensing, and article processing details if you charge them. Authors submit manuscripts online, editors assign reviewers, and every decision is recorded in one place instead of scattered emails. Each published article gets its own page with title, authors, abstract, keywords, references and a PDF download, grouped into volumes and issues with a full archive. We built and run the IJRRETAS journal website, so we know these workflows well.

You can choose Open Journal Systems (OJS), the free, widely used journal platform, or a custom PHP site if you want a simpler workflow. Either way, article pages carry Google Scholar meta tags and the ISSN is displayed where indexers expect it. We should be clear that indexing in Google Scholar, UGC-CARE, Scopus or any other database depends on that body's own criteria and review, not on the website alone. We build the site so it meets the technical side of those requirements properly.
