About Journals Place
Journals place is not a journal publisher. We only help journal publishers to be visible on the web...
We discovered that more than 80% of journals in Nigeria were not on the web. The reason is that they are unable to afford;
- website hosting costs
- journal site design costs
- domain name costs
- Year round IT staffing costs
- costs related to automated payment gateways
- and other hidden costs.
About 20% of the journal publishers who manage to start up a web based journal publishing system are not all able to sustain it. close to 10% of this number die off from the web after the first year of publishing online. The reason is also their inability to sustain the costs outlined above. At an average, new journal site design costs about $2,000.00. Webhosting related costs can rise up to about $300 or more. So, at an average, a typical journal online publisher can spend about $5,000 or more in the first year and a little less in subsequent years.
So, journals place takes all that burden off you as a hardcopy journal publisher. When we do this, you will then become a web based journal publisher also and become visible to the world at an extremely lower cost. We leverage on co-sharing platforms which makes you pay less than a tent of the said amounts, and we ensure that you remain online.
Journals place therefore assists the "hardcopy" journal publisher to also publish online. The journal is yours. The content remains yours. You and your authors remain the copyright owners of published items. We only help you become visible to the wider public.
