Limited pilot opportunity

Founding Journal Program

JournalsHQ will select one new international scholarly journal for a 12-month free pilot of its initial managed OJS plan.

The selected journal will receive managed OJS hosting, initial configuration, basic technical support and DOI workflow guidance.

Estimated first-year value: USD 900–1,200.

In exchange, the journal agrees to provide feedback, a short testimonial and permission to be listed as a founding journal on the JournalsHQ website.

This pilot is intended for new journals or journals at an early launch stage. Complex migrations, legacy archive cleanup, large-scale metadata correction, XML/JATS markup and indexing guarantees are not included.
