Host with Publion

Yes. The Launch package is designed for new journals that want to begin without building their own website, installing OJS, renting a server, configuring email, managing backups, or preparing a separate editorial system. Once the journal reaches the agreed growth stage or begins operating more actively, the hosting fee becomes Rp1.490.000 per year. Activation terms will be explained clearly during onboarding.

When a journal begins receiving payments through Publion, revenue can be shared between the journal and Publion based on the agreed hosting arrangement. The journal remains entitled to its share, while Publion's share supports hosting, payment tracking, technical maintenance, platform security, publication workflows, DOI-related coordination where applicable, system improvements, and ongoing support.

Yes. A journal can receive payouts for eligible revenue that has been successfully received, confirmed, and recorded through the Publion payment system. Payouts may require verified institutional or account-holder information and a valid bank account belonging to the journal owner, institution, publisher, or authorized representative.

Yes. Your institution or editorial team controls the journal's fee policy, including whether fees apply, how much they are, when payment is required, whether waivers are available, and whether payment happens before review, after acceptance, before publication, or under another journal-defined policy.

Publion can provide payment tracking and, where enabled, payment gateway integration. Authors can see payment status, while editors and journal administrators can view payment records alongside the relevant submission or publication record. This reduces reliance on screenshots, chat messages, spreadsheets, and separate bank confirmations.

No. Publion does not decide whether a manuscript should be accepted, rejected, revised, or sent for review. Academic and editorial decisions remain with your Editor in Chief, editors, reviewers, and editorial board. Publion provides the workflow and system that help those decisions be documented, tracked, and managed consistently.

Yes. Your journal remains free to invite, assign, and manage its own reviewers based on subject expertise, institutional policy, prior experience, and manuscript needs. Publion provides the reviewer workflow, invitation process, manuscript access, deadline tracking, recommendation forms, and review history.

The standard hosting package provides the platform and workflow for your own editorial team and reviewer network. For institutions that need additional help, Publion may offer operational support through a separate managed service arrangement, including submission administration, reviewer invitation coordination, editorial reminders, copyediting coordination, layout preparation, metadata handling, and publication scheduling.

Yes. Your journal can have its own public identity within the Publion ecosystem, including title, abbreviation, logo, cover image, scope, editorial board, institutional affiliation, policies, journal description, issue archive, and other public-facing information. Advanced branding and custom domain support may be available on higher service plans.

Yes. Published articles are presented on dedicated public article pages and remain part of the journal archive. Each article can include title, authors, abstract, keywords, issue information, publication date, PDF access where applicable, citations, metadata, and DOI information where available.

Yes. Your journal determines its own publication frequency. Publion can support annual, biannual, quarterly, continuous, or other editorial schedules through issue management, archive organization, workflow tracking, and publication status visibility.

Yes. A new journal can begin setting up its public identity, editorial structure, guidelines, publication ethics, scope, workflow, and archive preparation before its ISSN process is complete. Publion can help prepare public information and documentation for ISSN application, but does not issue ISSNs directly or guarantee approval.

Yes. Many journals can begin with a Publion journal directory URL or Publion subdomain, then move to a custom domain such as journal.yourinstitution.ac.id or yourjournal.com as they grow. Custom domain activation may require an upgraded package, domain ownership verification, DNS configuration, and SSL setup.

Your journal is not tied permanently to one individual administrator. Authorized administrators can update the Editor in Chief, editors, reviewers, finance contacts, and other journal roles as the team changes, helping the journal continue even when staff or editorial members change.

Yes. Launch is specifically designed for new journals that want to begin with a stronger foundation. The journal team can focus on defining scope, forming the editorial board, preparing policies, inviting reviewers, receiving manuscripts, and publishing consistently.

Yes. Established journals can use Publion when they need a cleaner workflow, stronger public presentation, organized payment tracking, migration from OJS, archive cleanup, custom domain support, or more reliable technical operations.

Yes. Universities, faculties, publishers, research organizations, and professional associations can host multiple journals through Publion. Each journal can have its own identity, editorial board, scope, reviewer network, archive, payment policy, publication schedule, and public journal page.

No. Publion does not guarantee accreditation results, indexation acceptance, citation growth, Scopus inclusion, SINTA ranking, or international author submissions. Publion helps journals become better prepared through clearer workflows, stronger public pages, better documentation, organized archives, DOI-ready processes, payment tracking, technical continuity, and visibility through the Publion ecosystem.
