Starting a journal takes more than opening a submission portal. A new title needs a clear scope, an editorial board, written policies, a peer review process and a production workflow before the first issue appears. ISPHE works with universities, faculties and professional bodies to plan and launch journals that meet indexing requirements from the start.
What we help with
- Defining the journal's aims, scope and readership
- Choosing a title and checking that it is not already in use
- Recruiting and organising the editorial board
- Drafting author guidelines, peer review and ethics policies
- Setting up the journal website and submission system
- Planning the first two issues
Who it is for
