Become an editor:in open access journals or conference proceedings

We support you in founding, managing and publishing your own open access journals or conference proceedings as well as in switching from closed to open access for your existing journals. We use the open source software Open Journal Systems, which covers the most important steps in the publishing process: Website design, editorial management, submission of articles, multi-step review processes, publication of articles and more. We provide the platform for you, take care of the technical operation and support you with the implementation. Responsibility for content and editing lies with the respective editors or editorial teams. If you have any special requests for your magazine in terms of functionality and design, we will implement them together if possible.
