Spin up your journal in an afternoon. Start by creating a workspace, then launch a managed cloud instance with one click. Pick a responsive theme, upload your logo, and tune colors and typography to match your brand. Set up article types and issue templates so editors don’t reinvent layouts each time. Define roles for editors, reviewers, and authors, and lock down who can draft, edit, approve, or publish. Turn on indexing and SEO settings early—map fields to metadata, set canonical URLs, and generate sitemaps—so content is discoverable from day one.

Day to day, authors can draft directly in the rich editor or upload documents and media into the library. Templates keep headings, abstracts, keywords, and references consistent, while the search bar helps you pull related articles and citations from existing content. Every save creates a version you can compare or roll back, so you never lose work. Editors leave inline comments, request changes, and mention teammates to keep the conversation tied to the article. Need a new format? Build a reusable template once and apply it to a whole section or issue. Use bulk actions to tag submissions, assign owners, and move groups of articles forward.

For review and release, route submissions through a clear approval path: intake, editorial review, copyedit, and final sign‑off. Each step has rules that grant the right people access and require approvals before anything goes live. Set schedules, embargo dates, and unpublish windows with rule-based publishing, so special issues, corrections, and retractions follow policy automatically. Preview how an article looks on desktop and mobile, validate metadata, and run a preflight check before hitting publish. Built‑in SEO tools surface missing alt text, titles, and descriptions. After publication, use search indexing to connect related content and improve on‑site discovery.

When you’re ready to extend functionality, add plugins to introduce new widgets, workflows, or integrations without touching the core system. Developers can modify themes and build custom plugins to support specialized editorial needs. Import legacy content with the ingest tools, mapping fields to your schemas; export structured packages for archives or external indexing. Assign fine-grained permissions for guest editors or partners and revoke them when a project ends. Collaboration features keep teams aligned across time zones, while email and phone support are available when you need help fast. With this setup, your team focuses on publishing quality scholarship—not wrangling infrastructure.
