Can I set up a website from scratch and on my own for my magazine?

Yes! Many scientific journals, in fact, choose to publish the results of their research on their own websites, which are developed on platforms such as Wix , Blogger and WordPress . However, this is not always the best solution. I'll explain to you why. In fact, the biggest headache in setting up a website from scratch for a scientific journal on your own is the fact that one does not always know the standards for ISSN recognition. So, when it is decided to obtain the issue for the periodical, the professional ends up having to completely redesign the magazine's website. I bet you wouldn't want to have this rework, right? So if you want to set up the magazine website yourself on Blogspot, Wix or WordPress, for example, a good practice is to format it according to these rules. However, to make things easier, many editors choose to hire companies that set up the magazine's website based on a model already pre-approved by institutions such as the ISSN Brazilian Center.

Thus, all content available on the website will meet the criteria required by the institution. Open Journal System or OJS/SEER System As I mentioned at the beginning of the text, in Brazil, many universities, colleges and educational institutions choose to publish their magazines in the traditional and well-known OJS/SEER System. OJS/SEER: what is it? OJS/SEER is the acronym for Open Journal Systems (OJS) or Electronic Magazine Brazil Phone Number Data Publishing System (SEER). It is free software for managing and publishing scientific content. “Recommended by CAPES, the editorial process at OJS allows for an improvement in the assessment of the quality of journals and a faster flow of information.” – Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology ( IBICT ). With free and open access, the system allows educational institutions to manage one or more scientific journals in the virtual environment. In it, the submission, evaluation, review and publication stages are carried out in a customized way. To place your magazine(s) in the OJS system you need to have a minimum knowledge of programming.



Makes several tutorials and booklets available for free that help researchers, teachers and students understand how OJS works. → Access the OJS materials here . In the materials, you will learn how to receive submissions, start the peer review process, and include new issues of the journal. There are specific tutorials for evaluators, paper authors and editors. Furthermore, an OJS advantage is that articles and magazines hosted in the system are also indexed by search engines such as Google and can receive, in addition to the ISSN, a globally recognized digital identifier, the DOI. The DOI can be assigned individually to articles and also to the complete edition of the journal. However, in the case of articles published in magazines, they can only be requested by the editors responsible for the periodical and for all the articles that make up it.
