Real feedback from journal editors and academic institutions we have helped succeed in scholarly publishing.
Scholarly Common made launching our university research journal incredibly smooth. They handled ISSN registration, OJS setup, and our first DOI batch — all within three weeks. The level of professionalism and communication was outstanding throughout.
We achieved Scopus indexing within 18 months of launching our journal — something we thought would take years. The indexing preparation package from Scholarly Common was meticulously detailed and their guidance through the evaluation process was invaluable.
Our acceptance-to-publication time dropped from 3 months to under 3 weeks after Scholarly Common took over our editorial and production workflow. The JATS XML production alone has saved us enormous time and opened doors to PubMed Central.
As a small academic society, we didn't think we could afford a professional journal publisher. Scholarly Common changed that. Their starter package gave us everything a big journal has — OJS platform, DOI, DOAJ listing — at a very reasonable price.
The editorial services team caught inconsistencies in 40% of our submitted manuscripts before publication. Our acceptance quality has improved dramatically and authors are consistently impressed by the speed and quality of our review process.
Working with Scholarly Common for DOAJ application was seamless. They prepared our entire compliance documentation, trained our editorial team on COPE guidelines, and submitted everything on our behalf. We got listed on the first attempt.
Scopus indexing is one of the most coveted achievements for any academic journal. We break down every criterion, the application process, common rejection reasons, and exactly how to prepare your journal for a successful first submission.
Choosing your publishing platform is one of the most important decisions when launching a journal. We compare Open Journal Systems (OJS) with custom-built PHP/Laravel journal websites — features, cost, scalability, and SEO implications.
Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) XML is the international standard for full-text article archiving. We explain what JATS XML is, why PubMed Central requires it, and how our production team converts your articles automatically.
