Scholarly Publishing Infrastructure

The systems and standards e-IPH's journals are built on.

OJS

Open Journal Systems (PKP) powers submission and publication hosting across e-IPH's journals. Peer review management varies by journal and is transitioning to OJS over time — E-BPJ's peer review remains email-based through 2026, with OJS-managed review beginning 2027.

Crossref DOI

Every article receives a persistent Crossref DOI at publication, ensuring citations remain resolvable indefinitely.

CrossMark

Published PDFs carry a CrossMark button linking to Crossref, so readers can check whether an article has since been corrected, retracted, or updated.

ISSN

Each journal holds a registered eISSN, verifiable on the ISSN Portal.

PKP Preservation Network

Journal content is preserved through the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), PKP's own LOCKSS-based dark archive, ensuring continued access independent of this website even in the event of a future disruption.
