A modern alternative to OJS / PKP

Программное обеспечение для журналов с открытым исходным кодом мощное, но устаревшее, его трудно оформлять и долго настраивать. Scopapers обеспечивает ту же научную строгость с современным удобством, которое действительно нравится вашим авторам и рецензентам.

Scopapers

  • Modern, responsive and multilingual, with full right-to-left Arabic out of the box
  • Пошаговая подача, редактирование рукописи на сайте и предварительная проверка с помощью ИИ
  • Stripe and PayPal payments, invoices and reviewer compensation built in
  • Real DOIs (Zenodo), Google Scholar and Crossref metadata, sitemaps and SEO
  • COPE-aligned ethics, retraction notices and open-access CC BY by default
  • Set up in days rather than months, hosted or self-hosted

Устаревшие OJS / PKP

  • Dated interface, with painful theming and plugins
  • Ручные, разрозненные этапы подачи и рецензирования
  • Платежи и вознаграждения рецензентов требуют дополнительных плагинов или индивидуальной доработки
  • Indexing and SEO require significant configuration
  • Недели настройки и постоянные затраты на обслуживание

Built to be trusted with scholarly content

Your journal is a permanent scholarly record. We treat it that way, and we never lock you in.

Your content stays yours

You own your articles, data and metadata. We are the platform, not the publisher of record. Nothing about your journal becomes ours.

Export everything, anytime

Full exports in standard formats (JATS XML, OAI-PMH, article files and metadata), so you can move your journal elsewhere whenever you choose. No lock-in.

Real, permanent DOIs

DOIs are registered through Zenodo, operated by CERN, and remain citable and resolvable for the long term, independent of any single provider.

A named team behind it

Scopapers is built and operated by a real team, on a platform that already runs live, indexed, multilingual journals, including this very website.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Tell us your journal’s title, scope and language. We set up your branded, multilingual journal website. You then invite your editorial board, set your policies and fees, open for submissions, and publish accepted articles in open access with real DOIs and the metadata that indexers require. Most journals go live within a few days.
Yes. Migration is a core service, not an afterthought. We bring across your articles and issues, authors and accounts, metadata and existing DOIs, journal branding, sections, policies and your editorial history, so your readers and citation links keep working. Request a migration assessment and we will give you a clear plan for your specific journal.
Yes to both. You own your articles, data and metadata; we are the platform, not the owner of your journal. You can export everything in standard formats (JATS XML, OAI-PMH, article files and metadata) at any time and move elsewhere. There is no lock-in, and your DOIs remain permanent either way.
Scopapers is built and operated by a real, named team and already runs live, indexed, multilingual open-access journals, including this very website. You are not trusting an anonymous script with years of scholarly content.
A journal title and scope, an editorial team of editors and reviewers you can invite, your peer-review model, and an open-access licence. A publication fee with a Stripe or PayPal account is optional. An ISSN is helpful but not required to begin. We guide you through it, and we never fabricate ISSNs or DOIs.
The best system combines scholarly rigour with a modern experience. Scopapers provides guided submission, on-site manuscript editing, an AI pre-check, built-in peer review, payments and reviewer compensation, real DOIs, Google Scholar and Crossref metadata, and multilingual right-to-left Arabic websites out of the box. It is a modern alternative to OJS and PKP, without the dated interface and plugin overhead.
Hosted plans start at $99 per month for a single journal and $299 per month for a multidisciplinary press, billed monthly with no commitment. Pay yearly and save 30 percent. If you prefer to own the software, the perpetual licence starts at $7,900 as a one-time payment. Custom development and migrations are quoted per project. There are no per-DOI charges.
A few days, not months. Hosted journals can be live almost immediately, and self-hosted deployments include setup guidance. Legacy open-source software often requires weeks of configuration and ongoing maintenance by comparison.
Yes. Articles receive real, citable DOIs registered through Zenodo (operated by CERN) at no per-DOI cost, with structured metadata deposited for each one. Every article also carries Google Scholar and Dublin Core metadata so it can be read and cited correctly.
Yes, on the technical side. Scopapers generates the sitemaps, JSON-LD schema, Google Scholar and Dublin Core metadata, and JATS and OAI-PMH exports that discoverability and indexing workflows require. Actual inclusion in Google Scholar, DOAJ or any other database is decided by each service under its own requirements and review process, which no platform can guarantee. We make sure you meet the technical bar and are ready to apply.
Yes. The platform is multi-journal from the ground up. Each journal has its own branding, accent colour, sections, policies, language and editorial board, all managed from one place.
Yes. English, French, Arabic with full right-to-left support, Spanish and Chinese are built in, and each journal can run in its own language.
Stripe card checkout and PayPal are built in, along with manual bank and transfer payments, invoices, receipts, fee waivers and reviewer compensation.
With the perpetual licence you own your copy. Deploy it on your own servers and customise the branding, workflow, languages and policies to your needs. Hosted plans keep updates and infrastructure handled for you.
