GPH Journals

The Challenge

GPH were launching their own journals and weighing whether an off-the-shelf platform like OJS would truly hold up for the workflow they had in mind — and wary of handing a publishing platform to an unfamiliar vendor. The quotes they gathered came back high, built around large teams, and none answered the question they cared about most: who, specifically, would be accountable for the outcome.

Our Solution

We ran it the way they wanted it run: one senior point of contact — the founder — from the first conversation to go-live, and a quote priced for the three to four months the work genuinely required. We designed and launched the full publishing platform: author accounts with a guided manuscript-submission flow (co-authors, files, smart metadata extraction), a double-blind peer-review pipeline, article browsing and search, and a clean, professional interface researchers trust.

The Results

• Live at gphjournals.com — two peer-reviewed journals open for submissions

• Guided manuscript submission with author accounts and smart metadata extraction
