CC Journal
An open source platform for academic journals, in the style of OJS: submission, blind peer review, copyediting, DOIs and Crossref, all in one Django app on a single SQLite file.
Academic journal websites, OJS hosting and indexing
OJS installation, hosting, themes and upgrades, Google Scholar ready metadata, DOIs and Crossref, or a lighter open source platform of my own.
Journals are my long running work
Open Journal Systems is the standard for scholarly publishing, but running it well takes servers, upgrades, design and a lot of patience. I take that part off the editors’ hands.
- OJSHub is my OJS service: installation and setup, custom themes, editorial support, Google Scholar indexing, submission forms and Telegram notifications. Its private panel runs many OJS journals across servers, with a ten step wizard that spins up a new instance.
- Horizon Journals is a family of active journals with ISSN, running on OJSHub, in English, Azerbaijani and Turkish.
- CC Journal is my open source alternative to OJS: submission, blind peer review, copyediting, DOIs and Crossref in one Django app on a single SQLite file. It generates branded PDFs, turns Word files into clean HTML, and exposes OAI-PMH for harvesters.
What I can do for your journal
Set up OJS or CC Journal, move an existing journal to a new server, design a theme, fix metadata for Google Scholar, connect DOIs and Crossref, and keep it updated.

Questions
Can you get my journal into Google Scholar?
I can set up everything Google Scholar reads: citation meta tags, PDFs, sitemaps and OAI-PMH. Inclusion is Google's decision, but a correctly built site is what it needs.
OJS or CC Journal?
OJS is the standard that most indexes and editors know. CC Journal is lighter and easier to host. I will suggest one after hearing how your journal works.
Can you move my existing OJS journal?
Yes. I can move it to a new server, upgrade it and keep the existing articles and links working.
