Your journal, your name. We stay behind the scenes.
JournalEnv never publishes journals under its own name. Your journal lives on your own domain, with your name, your ISSN and your editorial board. We run the technology: servers, security, updates, backups and the technical side of indexing.
- Your domain and your content belong to you — export everything and take it with you any time.
- Servers, updates and upgrades are handled for you and tested before they reach your journal.
- Support from people who know journals: ISSN, DOIs, indexing and editorial practice.

Questions
How do I get started?
Click “Start free” and create your account. Add your journal, build it free in a private preview, and choose a plan when you are ready to go live on your own domain. Our team helps with setup. Ordering opens on 10 November 2026; you can create your account now.
Do I need to install anything?
No. JournalEnv is a fully managed platform (software as a service): we run the servers, updates, security and backups. You and your editors only need a browser.
Can you move our existing journal to JournalEnv?
Yes. Our team can bring over your issues, articles, PDFs and metadata from your current platform or website as a quoted service. Contact us with your journal’s address.
Is it suitable for indexing (DOAJ, Google Scholar, Crossref)?
Every live journal gets validated OAI-PMH, Google Scholar and Dublin Core tags, sitemaps, and Crossref deposits for DOIs. Being accepted by an index still depends on your journal meeting its criteria — no platform can promise indexing.
Who owns the content and data?
You do. Articles, manuscripts and user data belong to your journal. You can export your whole journal at any time, and we never sell your data.
How do I get help?
Customers open a request from the Help centre in their dashboard; everyone else can use the contact form or write to our support email. We reply within one working day.
