Running a journal well takes steady, careful work behind the scenes. We act as your editorial office, following your editorial board's decisions and recognised publishing standards.

What we manage

  • Submission screening: scope, formatting and similarity checks
  • Reviewer invitations, reminders and decision letters
  • Copyediting, typesetting and issue publication on schedule
  • DOI registration with Crossref and metadata deposits
  • Journal policies: peer review, ethics, open access and archiving
  • Preparing applications to DOAJ, Scopus and other databases

Who it is for

Universities, societies and independent editors starting a new journal or running an existing one.

A note on honesty

Each database decides which journals it includes. We prepare a strong, complete application and fix gaps before you apply; we never promise inclusion.

Questions and answers.

Do you guarantee acceptance in a Scopus or Web of Science journal?

No, and nobody honestly can. Every reputable journal decides through its own editors and peer reviewers. What we do is improve your chances: we choose journals whose scope and standards genuinely fit your paper, prepare the manuscript to their guidelines, and help you respond well to reviewers.

Be careful with anyone who promises guaranteed publication in an indexed journal. It is the most common sign of a predatory or fake journal service.

How long does publication take?

It depends on the journal. Peer review alone can take from a few weeks to several months, and revisions add time. When we shortlist journals for you, we give the typical review time for each, so you can choose one that fits your deadline.

If you have a firm deadline, such as a thesis submission or a promotion, tell us at the first consultation. If it is not realistic, we will say so.

How can I check that a journal is really indexed?

Search for the journal by its ISSN in Scopus Sources (for Scopus) or Clarivate's Master Journal List (for Web of Science). Check that the ISSN and publisher match and that coverage continues to the current year. Reach the journal's website through the link in that record, not through an email.

We share these links for every journal we recommend. Our guide How to check whether a journal is really indexed in Scopus explains each step.

Will you write my paper or thesis for me?

We guide, review and edit; the research, the ideas and the authorship stay yours. Our experts help you plan the structure, choose and justify the methodology, analyse your data, improve the language and format the work to your university's or journal's rules.

We do not submit work in your name that you did not do, sell authorship, or help anyone get around plagiarism rules. That protects your degree and your reputation.
