An academic publishing platform dedicated to responsible scholarly communication, transparent editorial practices, and global accessibility of research.
Scholarly Common is established to support the responsible publication and dissemination of scholarly research through credible electronic journals. The platform works in collaboration with scholars, universities, research institutes, and academic communities to develop journals that contribute meaningfully to the global research ecosystem.
By promoting transparent editorial governance, ethical publishing standards, and rigorous peer review, Scholarly Common aims to strengthen the integrity and reliability of scholarly communication.
Journals hosted on the platform are encouraged to follow internationally recognized ethical standards recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
To contribute to a global scholarly environment in which research knowledge is openly accessible, responsibly published, and widely disseminated for the advancement of society and academic inquiry.
Scholarly Common envisions a future where research knowledge transcends institutional and geographic boundaries — where scholars everywhere can access, build upon, and contribute to the collective body of human knowledge without barriers.
We believe that responsible, open scholarly communication is fundamental to the advancement of science, society, and academic inquiry. Every journal we host is a step toward realizing this vision.
To support scholars, institutions, and research communities in establishing and developing high-quality scholarly journals that promote ethical publishing practices and meaningful academic exchange.
Our mission drives everything we do — from the technical infrastructure we provide to the editorial guidance we offer. We are committed to being a reliable, long-term partner for journals at every stage of their development.
To support scholars, institutions, and research communities in establishing and developing high-quality scholarly journals that promote ethical publishing practices and meaningful academic exchange.
Scholarly Common is guided by four foundational principles that shape every decision, every journal, and every collaboration.
We ensure that all journals and publishing processes on our platform uphold the highest academic and ethical standards. We follow the guidelines recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and actively discourage misconduct in research and publishing.
All editorial decisions, peer-review procedures, and publishing workflows are conducted openly. We believe that transparency in editorial governance is essential for maintaining trust in scholarly publications.
Editors, authors, and reviewers working with journals on our platform are expected to maintain ethical standards at all times. This includes avoiding plagiarism, fabrication, and manipulation of research data.
Through the Gold Open Access model, we ensure that all published research is freely available to anyone worldwide — removing barriers between researchers and the knowledge they need.
