OJS Editorial Quality Services
Your journal runs on OJS. We make what happens inside it world-class — peer review management, editorial workflow design, author communication, and indexing readiness.
Platform Quality ≠ Journal Quality
Thousands of journals run on OJS — a robust, free platform by the Public Knowledge Project. But the journals that struggle to attract good submissions, achieve consistent peer review, and reach DOAJ, Scopus, or Web of Science are not struggling because of their software.
They are struggling because of editorial quality gaps: inconsistent peer review, unclear decision criteria, slow turnaround, and poor author communication. NeuCitePress fills exactly this gap — we don’t compete with OJS hosting, we make OJS journals excellent.
OJS Editorial Quality Services
Each service targets a specific editorial gap that holds OJS journals back from reaching their potential.
1. Article Editorial Review & Quality Screening
A professional pre-peer-review filter. Our senior editors assess every submission for scientific merit, scope alignment, methodology, language quality, COPE compliance, and plagiarism risk — so your reviewers only see manuscripts worth their time.
Standard — $349/mo · up to 25 articles
Premium — $599/mo · up to 50 articles
2. Peer Review Management Service
End-to-end management of your OJS peer review process — reviewer identification, invitation, tracking, reminder emails, and decision-ready summary reports. We reduce average review turnaround by 40–60% and build your journal a reliable, documented reviewer pool.
Standard — $499/mo · up to 25 manuscripts
Premium — $799/mo · up to 50 manuscripts
3. Journal Editorial Workflow Optimization
A structured audit and complete redesign of your submission-to-publication workflow — covering desk rejection criteria, peer review assignment, author communication, editorial decisions, and production. Delivered as a written report, SOPs, and ready-to-use email templates.
Standard — $899 · full workflow redesign
Premium — $1,499 · redesign + 3-month implementation support
4. Journal Impact & Indexing Readiness Strategy
A gap analysis and strategic roadmap to grow citation impact and achieve eligibility for DOAJ, Scopus, or Web of Science. We assess editorial quality benchmarks, ethics compliance, peer review documentation, and author reach — and deliver a concrete action plan.
Standard — $799 · full 6-month roadmap
Premium — $1,499 · 12-month coaching program
