OJS Journal Website
Development & Management Services
We build, launch and run Open Journal Systems (OJS) websites for publishers, universities and research societies — so your editorial team can focus on research, not servers.
Setup · Design · Migration · Ongoing Management
A complete OJS partner, not just a one-time setup
Open Journal Systems is powerful, but running it well takes technical know-how — server configuration, theme design, editorial workflow setup, and continuous maintenance. Lotus Worldwide Research Foundation handles all of it, so your journal launches on time, looks professional, and keeps running smoothly issue after issue.
OJS Development & Management
OJS Installation & Server Setup
We install and configure Open Journal Systems on your hosting environment — domain, SSL, database and email setup included — so your journal website is live, secure and ready to accept submissions from day one.
Custom Journal Design & Branding
We design a journal homepage that reflects your publication’s identity — custom colours, logo placement, homepage layout and issue archive — built on an OJS theme tailored to your discipline and audience.
Editorial Workflow Configuration
We set up submission forms, review stages, reviewer roles and email templates inside OJS to match your journal’s editorial process, so editors and reviewers can work without friction from the first submission.
Migration From Other Platforms
Moving from WordPress, an old journal system, or another OJS version? We migrate past issues, author accounts and metadata without losing your publication history or existing citations.
DOI, ISSN & Indexing Setup
We configure DOI assignment plugins, connect your journal to CrossRef or similar registration agencies, and prepare your metadata for submission to major indexing directories.
Plugins & Feature Customisation
From plagiarism-check integrations to payment gateways for publication fees, we install and configure the OJS plugins your journal needs, and build custom features where a plugin doesn’t exist.
Ongoing Maintenance & Updates
We keep your OJS installation updated, secure and backed up — applying version upgrades and security patches so your journal stays online without downtime or lost data.
Editor & Staff Training
We train your editorial team on managing submissions, assigning reviewers, publishing issues and updating the site, so you’re not dependent on outside help for day-to-day operations.
From Kickoff to Launch
A clear five-step path, with an update from us at every stage.
Discovery
We learn about your journal’s scope, editorial process and design preferences.
Setup
OJS is installed and configured on your hosting with the right structure and roles.
Design
Your journal’s homepage and theme are built to match your identity.
Testing
Submission, review and publishing workflows are tested end-to-end.
Launch & Support
Your journal goes live, with ongoing management available afterward.
Built by people who publish, too
We Run a Journal Ourselves
We operate our own OJS-based research journal, so we understand editorial workflows first-hand, not just the software.
Transparent Pricing
Setup and management costs are agreed upfront, with no surprise charges added midway through a project.
Real Technical Support
A named person from our team is reachable by phone or WhatsApp when something needs fixing.
Indexing-Ready From Day One
DOI, metadata and directory-submission requirements are built into setup, not left as an afterthought.
No Vendor Lock-In
You retain full ownership and admin access to your OJS installation, hosting and data at all times.
Support After Launch
We stay available for updates, new issues, plugin requests and troubleshooting long after go-live.
