One Place for Everything Related to Open Journal Systems

Open Journal Systems, also known as OJS, is a powerful open-source platform for scholarly publishing. It helps journals manage online submission, peer review, editorial workflow, issue publication, article metadata, journal policies, user roles and long-term publishing operations. However, the platform becomes more effective when it is installed correctly, hosted on a reliable server, configured for indexing, protected with backups, upgraded safely and customized according to the needs of each journal.

Many editors and publishers are experts in research, review and publication quality, but they may not want to handle server configuration, PHP version issues, database backups, Crossref settings, DOI XML errors, theme customization, plugin compatibility, spam protection, email deliverability or migration risks. OJSCloud fills this technical gap by offering reliable services for the complete journal lifecycle.

Our goal is simple: make online journal publishing easy, professional, secure, searchable and ready for authors, reviewers, editors, readers, indexers and search engines.

What Makes an OJS Journal Website Professional?

A professional online journal website should be more than a homepage and article PDF links. It should clearly explain journal aims and scope, editorial board, peer review process, publication ethics, author guidelines, charges, contact information, indexing details and archive structure. Article pages should include clear titles, author names, abstracts, keywords, DOI, citation information and downloadable files. The website should load fast, work on mobile, be secure with HTTPS and be easy for search engines to crawl.

Technical Requirements

  • Secure hosting and HTTPS
  • Fast loading pages
  • Clean URLs and sitemap
  • Backup and restore planning

Publishing Requirements

  • Submission and peer-review workflow
  • Journal policies and author guidelines
  • Article metadata and DOI support
  • Issue archive and volume structure

Our OJS Service Process

We follow a practical and safe process before making changes to any journal website. This is important because academic journals contain valuable published articles, author metadata, editorial workflow records, PDF files and indexing information. A careful process protects the journal from data loss, broken links, downtime and workflow errors.

1

Requirement Review

We review your journal type, current website, OJS version, number of articles, hosting condition, DOI requirement, ISSN status and expected service.

2

Technical Planning

We check the server, database, files, theme, plugins, PHP version, migration risks, backup condition and SEO impact before starting implementation.

3

Implementation

We complete the selected service such as setup, hosting, migration, upgrade, DOI setup, theme design, plugin development or ScholarJMS configuration.

4

Testing and Handover

We test login, submission, review, publication, issue pages, article pages, emails, mobile view, admin access and important journal settings.
