Open access journal publishing

End-to-end publishing infrastructure and management for academic journals seeking wide global reach, high visibility and compliance with international open-access standards. Fourteen titles already publish under our imprint.

Overview

Running a journal is mostly logistics.

Submissions arrive unevenly, reviewers go quiet, production slips, and the editorial board ends up chasing files instead of shaping a field.

We take the operational load and leave the editorial decisions where they belong. Your board sets scope and policy and decides what is accepted; we run everything around that.

Content types we publish

  • Research papers
  • Review papers
  • Case studies
  • Research reports
  • Thesis abstracts
  • Monographs
  • Conference proceedings
  • Research videos

Who this is for

  • Learned societies
  • University departments
  • Research institutes
  • Independent editorial boards

Cloud Open Access Journals

Fourteen journals published under our imprint

Every title is peer-reviewed and open access, free to read worldwide. All are hosted on Open Journal Systems at cloudjl.com.

Each journal follows standard publication ethics and policies, and commits to quality and transparency in its publishing.

What is included

Everything covered by this service

All of the below is within the agreed scope. Revisions inside that scope are included rather than billed as extras.

Peer-review workflow

Submission handling, reviewer recruitment, decision tracking and author correspondence, run to the model your board sets.

Indexing assistance

Preparation and submission of applications, with the compliance work done before you apply rather than after a rejection.

Metadata deposit

Stable, permanent article URLs, with metadata prepared so citations resolve reliably.

Digital distribution

Articles delivered worldwide in online mode, structured so search engines and aggregators can find them.

Production and typesetting

Copy-editing, layout, XML production and proofing to a consistent house standard.

Editorial reporting

Turnaround times, acceptance rates and readership reported to your board on a regular cycle.

How it works

Four stages, agreed before we begin

Deliverables, owners and dates are fixed at the outset, so you always know what is happening and when.

Assessment

We review your title, scope, board and any existing archive, then document what works and what needs rebuilding.

Publishing plan

A written plan covering access model, review policy, production schedule, indexing targets and responsibilities on each side.

Build and migration

Platform configured, identity applied, back issues migrated with every link intact, editorial staff trained before launch.

Operate and review

Submissions, review, production and release run to calendar, with regular reporting back to the board.

Questions

Before you get in touch

The questions we are asked most often about this service.

All frequently asked questions

Your editorial board, without exception. We manage process, screening and production. We do not influence acceptance decisions and we do not sell them.

Yes. Back issues, metadata, user accounts and review histories migrate from OJS, Editorial Manager, ScholarOne and custom systems. Legacy URLs are preserved and redirects mapped before launch.

Their work is readable by anyone, anywhere, without a subscription. That generally widens readership and citation opportunity compared with a paywalled article of equivalent quality.

No. Our journals are open access, so reading is free at the point of use.
