About OJS Academy
OJS Academy is an independent academic publishing support initiative led by a professional with 10+ years of experience in scholarly journals and academic book publishing.
I work directly with universities, research institutions, editorial boards, and independent scholars to set up, improve, and prepare journals using Open Journal Systems (OJS).
My work follows ethical publishing practices and internationally accepted standards such as COPE, DOAJ, Crossref, and Google Scholar — with a clear focus on long-term indexing readiness, not shortcuts or false guarantees.
