MDPI, a leading open access publisher, today announced the relaunch of a submission platform specifically designed to support small-scale, independent publishers. The Journal and Article Management System, JAMS, now offers flexible pricing and new editorial services to improve accessibility.
The platform’s new Editorial Guidance service, for example, offers expert consulting to help journals achieve indexing, expand readership, and enhance their impact, setting a new standard in editorial support across the scholarly publishing landscape.
JAMS’ new scalable pricing model has been designed to benefit publishers in the Global South, non-profits, and smaller organizations, improving access to high-quality journal management and engaging researchers from diverse communities.
“JAMS combines robust functionality with expert support to simplify and enhance every stage of the publishing process,” said Silvano Bonfatti, Product Manager for MDPI’s JAMS. “Our latest updates, including flexible pricing and expanded services, demonstrate our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of publishers and helping them achieve their objectives of quality, growth, and impact.”
Francesca Minerva, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Controversial Ideas, described JAMS as an “an editorially independent, user-friendly platform that aligned perfectly with the journal’s vision,” enabling the journal “to maintain rigorous academic standards while reaching a global audience and fostering impactful academic discourse.”
