Creating a scientific journal website: where editors should start
A journal website includes more than a homepage. Authors submit papers, editors track them and readers find issues and PDFs. Define these three journeys before commissioning the project.
Requirements for new and existing journals
For a new journal, start with its name, editorial information and a sample issue. For an existing website, we also review archives, files and links that need preserving.
Design the daily editorial workflow
We agree languages, roles and article stages in advance. If you need Word-to-PDF design, issue splitting or issue assembly, we test real sample files. The handover includes an editorial guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can we start before all content is ready?
Yes. We first list missing materials and plan the website structure. The proposal identifies launch content and who will provide it.
