Every step from registration to indexing.

CrossRef DOIs, deposited correctly the first time

A Digital Object Identifier is the permanent link that makes your articles citable, trackable, and indexable. Without properly deposited DOIs, databases reject submissions and citations break. We handle CrossRef membership setup, prefix allocation, metadata schema preparation, bulk deposit of back issues, and ongoing DOI registration for new articles. Every deposit is verified against CrossRef standards before submission.

p-ISSN and e-ISSN through the correct national centre

The International Standard Serial Number identifies your journal globally. Print and online editions require separate ISSNs — p-ISSN and e-ISSN — and applications must go through the correct national ISSN centre with complete documentation. Errors delay the process by months. We prepare and submit everything, then handle all correspondence until allocation is confirmed.

Readiness-audited applications, not hopeful submissions

Indexing determines whether researchers find your journal when they search. Each database has published criteria and unpublished expectations — and most rejections happen because of documentation gaps, not content quality. We conduct a pre-application readiness audit, close every identifiable gap, prepare the application, and handle all correspondence including clarification requests.

Recognition that makes your journal count for promotion and tenure

HEC recognition determines whether publication in your journal counts for faculty promotions, tenure, and student degree requirements across Pakistani universities. The criteria are specific and the review cycles are fixed. We assess your journal's current eligibility, identify every compliance gap, prepare the complete documentation package, and submit on your behalf.

A fully operational Open Journal Systems platform, handed over

Open Journal Systems is the global standard for managing submissions, peer review, and publication workflows. A correctly configured OJS installation integrates directly with CrossRef for automatic DOI deposits and signals to indexing databases that your editorial process is professionally managed. We install, configure, brand, and train — then hand over a fully operational system.

Structured metadata and preservation that databases expect

Correct metadata is what search engines, databases, and citation trackers use to find and credit your articles. Structured archiving through LOCKSS and CLOCKSS ensures your journal meets the preservation requirements of major indexing databases and provides a permanent record independent of your hosting provider.
