Hosting

Janeway is ideal for library publishers and university presses that manage journals.

Many independent and society journals have also found a home on the platform.

Self-hosting

Janeway is free and open-source, and many institutions run it themselves. Here's what it takes.

Navigate Git repositories to install Janeway versions and plugins.
Deploy a Python Django web application.
Install and run a PostgreSQL database securely.
Manage domains and subdomains for the publisher and optionally for each journal.
Follow docs to set up integrations for services like email, ORCID, OIDC, Crossref, Datacite, and CAPTCHA.
Answer first-line support questions from editors and authors.
Provide on-call coverage for outages or security issues.

Funding for...

Third-party services like DOI deposit

We sometimes have capacity to adapt Janeway to special workflows or integrations. This custom development work is priced by the project.

Editorial and production services

If you want to publish JATS XML or professionally typeset PDFs, we can recommend a trusted vendor to provide encoding and typesetting.

We can also make recommendations for copyediting and managing editor services.

They can work within your Janeway installation using the editor, copyeditor or typesetter role.

"The first thing to know about Janeway is that it is not just a submission system and platform. It is a complete publishing tool that allows the editors to basically operate as . . . a publisher. That makes it hugely empowering."

Johan Rooryck
Editor-in-chief of Glossa and co-coordinator of the European Diamond Capacity Hub at OPERAS
"Often scaling means asking people to do more repetitive tasks which are not intellectually engaging. Using Janeway has allowed us to scale but not at the expense of our people. It has made our team’s jobs better, more satisfying, more engaging, rather than more automated."

Jason Colman
Director of Michigan Publishing Services
"Janeway is the most intuitive platform I have seen in terms of user experience, and it was the only platform to offer all the features we were keen to have. The team behind Janeway were a pleasure to work with and are very open to working collaboratively on the platform, which makes a big difference."

Megan Taylor
Former press manager at University of Huddersfield Press
