Management
Configure Every Journal. Standardise Every Publishing Process.
Every journal has its own editorial policies, submission requirements, article types, workflows, schedules, forms, editorial teams, and publication guidelines. Managing these differences should not require software development or technical intervention. PageMajik Journal Management provides publishers with a centralised administration workspace to configure every aspect of a journal, enabling business users to launch new journals, adapt editorial policies, and manage publishing operations independently while maintaining enterprise-wide governance and consistency.
How Can Journal Management Help You?
Managing journals should be simple, flexible, and completely under the publisher's control. PageMajik Journal Management enables publishers to configure journals, editorial processes, submission requirements, forms, communications, schedules, and teams from a single administration workspace, allowing every journal to operate independently while maintaining consistent publishing standards.
Every journal can maintain its own identity, editorial policies, submission periods, article types, workflows, schedules, editorial teams, submission requirements, payment configuration, and publication guidelines while operating from the same enterprise platform. Publishers gain complete flexibility without increasing administrative complexity.
Deliver consistent publishing processes across every journal by configuring article types, workflows, schedule templates, submission forms, editorial assessment forms, peer review feedback forms, payment forms, invoice templates, mail templates, and operational policies from a single administration workspace. Standardised configurations improve operational efficiency while allowing every journal to maintain its own editorial requirements.
Publishing requirements evolve continuously. Open or close journals for submissions, temporarily suspend specific article types, update author guidelines, revise editorial teams, introduce new workflows, modify forms, or change communications without software development. Business users remain in complete control of operational changes.
Whether managing a handful of journals or hundreds of publications, PageMajik provides reusable workflow templates, schedule templates, configurable forms, dashboards, APIs, role-based security, audit trails, and a scalable microservices architecture designed for modern publishing organisations.
Transparent investigations, evidence-based decision making, and fully auditable editorial processes help publishers demonstrate their commitment to research integrity while strengthening confidence among editors, reviewers, authors, institutions, and readers.
Getting Started
Launching or configuring a journal should be straightforward. PageMajik enables publishers to configure every aspect of a journal through intuitive business administration tools, allowing new journals to become operational quickly while maintaining consistency across the publishing programme.
Benefits & Capabilities
Launch New Journals in Minutes, Not Weeks
Launching a new journal should not involve application changes or lengthy implementation projects. PageMajik enables publishers to establish journals by configuring metadata, editorial policies, article types, workflows, schedules, forms, communications, editorial teams, payment options, and publication assets through intuitive administration tools. New journals can begin accepting submissions quickly while remaining aligned with organisational publishing standards.
Configure Every Publishing Process Without Development
Publishing requirements constantly evolve, but operational changes should not depend on software releases. PageMajik enables publishers to configure submission forms, editorial assessment forms, peer review feedback forms, payment forms, invoice templates, mail templates, workflow assignments, schedule templates, author guidelines, editorial policies, and business rules through business-friendly administration tools.
As journals evolve, publishers can update operational processes, communications, workflows, and policies independently while maintaining consistency across the publishing programme, significantly reducing implementation effort and accelerating change.

Control Submission Availability with Precision
Publishing programmes frequently require journals or individual article types to accept submissions only during specific periods. PageMajik enables publishers to open or close journals, define submission windows for individual article types, temporarily suspend submissions, and control submission availability through configurable schedules. Editorial teams remain in complete control of submission intake without manual intervention.
Standardise Editorial Operations Across Your Publishing Programme
Associate every article type with predefined workflows, schedule templates, editorial forms, reviewer feedback forms, and communication templates to ensure manuscripts automatically follow the correct editorial process from submission through publication. Reusable templates improve operational consistency, reduce administration, and simplify the launch of new journals.
Architecture
PageMajik Journal Management is built on a configurable microservices architecture that separates journal administration, workflow management, scheduling, forms, communications, editorial team management, payment configuration, and publication assets into independent services. Publishers can modify journal configurations without affecting live editorial operations, while reusable templates ensure consistency across large publishing programmes.
Business users retain complete control over journals through intuitive administration tools, enabling operational changes without software development. Role-based security, configurable workflows, enterprise APIs, reusable templates, comprehensive audit trails, and scalable services provide a robust foundation for managing hundreds of journals from a single platform.
