PeerlineScientific Journal Management Platform
For universities, research centres and academic institutions

A scholarly journal to international standards from the first issue


Peerline is a complete platform to launch and run peer-reviewed journals on your institution’s own domain and under its identity, from submission and peer review to DOI-registered publication, with no IT team required.

Nothing you build during the trial is deleted. When you move from our address to your own domain, all your data comes with you.

Peerline
Who it is for

Wherever your institution stands today


No journal yet

From idea to first issue: ready policies and a standards-aligned structure.

Starts with a free readiness check

A new journal

Start correctly and build the consistent publishing record that indexes look for later.

A documented record from issue one

An established journal

An orderly move for existing journals, with back issues migrated and DOI deposits brought up to date.

Your archive comes with you

Several journals, one institution

Run multiple journals on one platform, each with its own identity and domain.

How it works

The manuscript journey, from submission to publication


A clear, recorded path for every manuscript, visible to your editorial team at every stage.

Submission

Authors submit online, in the languages your journal accepts.

Screening

The editor checks scope and similarity.

Peer review

Blind review rounds with automatic reminders.

Decision

Every decision is dated and kept on record.

Production

Word is converted to HTML, PDF and JATS.

Publication

Published with a DOI and complete metadata.

Features

Real editorial experience in every detail


Built to indexing standards

Policies, metadata and structure grounded in the standards of Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, Google Scholar, and Arab and national databases.

Professional production, automatically

Word files become full-text web articles, PDF and JATS XML automatically, with no need for paid typesetting.

DOIs and similarity checks

Deposit DOIs to Crossref and run similarity checks inside the platform, through your journal’s own Crossref account.

Wider reach for research

Google Scholar tags, OAI-PMH, ORCID and citation export in six styles make your articles easier to discover and cite.

Your identity, your domain

Your journal runs on your institution’s domain, in your colours, with ready themes or a bespoke design created exclusively for it.

Verified reviewer recognition

Publicly verifiable certificates for reviewers, authors and board members recognise their contributions and strengthen reviewer commitment.

AI support, editor decides

Optional screening, reference checks and reviewer suggestions. You switch them on or off, and final decisions always stay with the editors.

Multilingual by design

Journal pages, metadata and workflows work in several languages, Arabic with full right-to-left support included, so one platform serves every audience.

Ownership

Your journal belongs to your institution, always


Your domain

The journal lives at your institution’s address, not ours.

Your DOI prefix

It is registered through your own Crossref account and remains yours.

Daily backups

A daily backup you can download at any time.

Full export

All content and records delivered in full, on request.
