Publish own open access journals and conference proceedings

You would like to publish a quality-assured open access journal, a conference volume or an anthology and need support with the implementation? Then you are in good hands with us!

Become an editor of OA journals or conference proceedings

We support you in founding, managing and publishing your own OA journals or conference proceedings, as well as in switching from Closed to Open Access for your existing journals. We use the open source software Open Journal Systems, which maps the most important steps of the publishing process: Website design, editorial management, submission of articles, multi-step review process, publication of articles and more. We provide the platform for you, take care of the technical operation and support you in the implementation. The respective editors or editorial teams are responsible for the content and editing. If you have special wishes regarding functionality and design for your journal, we will implement them together if possible.
