This remains a major challenge in many academic institutions. Editorial teams, journal managers and administrators are often expected to manage journals without structured training in editorial workflows, peer review management, publication ethics, indexing requirements, and journal administration. Our aim is to provide this much-needed training and support.
Leadership transitions can create gaps in journal management.
When academics, editors or journal leaders change roles, leave the institution, or move into different positions, journals may experience a leadership vacuum. We help institutions build broader internal capacity so that journal knowledge does not sit with one person only, but is shared across academic and administrative teams.
For a journal to survive beyond individual champions, multiple staff members need the knowledge and skills to manage, lead and support the journal. Our approach ensures that institutions develop long-term capacity for sustainable academic journal management.
There is limited support for academics who want to establish independent journals.
Many scholars and research groups would like to start their own academic journals outside formal institutional structures, but they often lack the technical infrastructure, editorial knowledge and practical guidance required to do so successfully.
Infrastructure and knowledge gaps limit journal development.
Without access to proper journal platforms, publishing systems, training, policy guidance and compliance support, many promising journal ideas never move beyond the planning stage. We exist to bridge this gap by helping institutions, associations and individual journal founders build credible and sustainable journals.
Accreditation pathways and publication standards
Many journal teams need guidance on how to align their journals with recognised publishing standards, accreditation requirements, indexing criteria, publication ethics, peer review expectations and editorial governance practices. This support is essential for building credible, compliant and internationally visible journals.
