Every journal has a next step. Take it with us.
Editara is the publishing intelligence platform for academic journals: independent assessment, expert guidance and the editorial workflow in one place, so your journal is run with rigour today and recognised tomorrow.
One platform. Three ways it moves your journal forward.
Each part stands on its own. Together, they cover the whole life of a journal, from the first submission to a title with a reputation.
Journal assessment
A rigorous, independent review of how your journal is run: policies, processes, content and online presence. The result is a clear picture of the journal today and a prioritised plan for where to take it.
For boards and publishersEditorial workflow
Submissions, peer review, decisions, revisions and production, managed in one place. Editors, reviewers and authors each work from a clear view of what is theirs to do.
For editorial teamsVisibility and growth
Guidance on the steps that widen a journal’s reach and standing, taken in the right order, with your editorial team in charge of every decision.
For journals with ambitionDesigned for publishers, editorial boards and institutions.
Publishers
Consistent editorial standards and one way of working across every title in your portfolio.
Editorial boards
A clear view of the journal at all times, and a workflow that respects the time of reviewers and authors.
Universities and institutes
Journals that are professionally run, easy to find and built to last.
From first conversation to a running journal.
Editara is delivered as a partnership. These are the four stages every journal goes through.
Conversation
We learn about your journal: its field, its team, its goals and the obstacles in the way.
Onboarding
Your journal is set up on the platform with its board, policies and existing content in place.
Assessment and plan
You receive an independent assessment of the journal and a prioritised plan of what to improve next.
Ongoing partnership
Your team runs the journal on Editara. We review progress together and adjust the plan as the journal develops.
The tools your team will use every day.
Built around the real work of a journal, and improved continuously with the editors who use them.
Manuscript editorNew
Authors write and submit in an editor made for research writing: structured sections, tables, figures, equations and references, with the journal’s citation style applied automatically.
Reference toolsNew
References are checked against the scholarly record as they are written, so incomplete or mistyped citations are caught before review, not after publication.
Peer review desk
Editors invite and assign reviewers, follow rounds and deadlines, and keep a complete record of every decision. Reminders go out on their own.
Co-authoring and versionsNew
Co-authors work on the same manuscript with a full version history, ORCID sign-in and a named, accountable author on every submission.
Production and identifiers
Accepted articles move to publication-ready structured formats with persistent identifiers and complete metadata, without leaving the platform.
Portfolio and readership
Publishers see every title in one place, with readership and progress over time, and share access with exactly the people who need it.
Your journal’s information stays confidential.
