The Academic Journal Publishing Ecosystem
Launch, Publish & Get Indexed — All in One Place.
Journal Nexus is the parent brand behind purpose-built scholarly publishing software — JMSNexus and ManuscriptFlow — plus an in-house suite of typesetting and editorial tools. Together with our consulting team, we deliver true end-to-end support to universities, publishers, professional societies, and individual editors: from the day you decide to start a journal to the day it’s accepted by Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, or DOAJ.
