Academic Journal Systems

Universities across Kurdistan needed modern, indexable, scholarly journals — so we install, organise, and redesign their Open Journal Systems platforms, then build custom plugins that automate DOI registration, indexing, and editorial workflows. Three journals live so far.

Academic Journal of International University of Erbil — OJS platform

What we do for each journal

From an empty server to a fully indexed, automated, peer-reviewed journal — the complete OJS pipeline.

OJS install & configuration

Full Open Journal Systems setup — hosting, server configuration, journal structure, sections, issue management, and user roles for editors, reviewers, and authors.

Custom theme & redesign

Branded, fully responsive OJS themes tailored to each university's identity — modern reading experience, clean article pages, and mobile-first layouts that replace the dated default look.

Custom automation plugins

Bespoke OJS plugins that automate the repetitive work — DOI/Crossref deposit, metadata and indexing exports, citation formatting, and editorial workflow steps — saving editors hours per issue.

Indexing & DOI registration

Set up and verified across DOAJ, Crossref (with live DOI minting), Google Scholar, Scilit, ROAD, and IMJD — with correct metadata mapping so every article is discoverable and citable.

Peer-review workflow

Double-blind peer-review configured end to end — submission, assignment, review rounds, copyediting, and production — plus iThenticate plagiarism screening and editorial policy pages.

Multilingual & RTL

Full Kurdish, Arabic (RTL), English, and French support where needed — so journals like Qalaai Zanist serve authors and readers across the region from one platform.
