Journal Website Customization
Customized journal platforms built around your publishing needs
Academic Desk provides OJS development and customization support for publications that need more than a standard platform setup. Not every journal works the same way. Editorial workflows, submission processes, content structure, and design requirements often differ from one publication to another. A default system may be functional, but it does not always support how your journal actually operates. Our customization service helps journals improve both the visual and functional side of their platform so it better supports publishing, editorial work, and user experience.
What This Service Is
Journal website customization is the process of modifying your existing journal platform to better fit your publication's workflow, structure, and presentation. At Academic Desk, this includes both design-level and system-level improvements for journals using OJS and related publishing platforms. The purpose is to make the journal platform more usable, more organized, and more aligned with your publishing process.
This service may include:
- Ojs template customization
- Ojs theme customization
- Custom OJS theme design
- OJS workflow customization
- OJS platform customization
- OJS system modification
- OJS Plug-In Customization
- Interface and layout adjustments
- Workflow and structure improvements
Who Needs This Service
This service is suitable for:
- Journal editors using standard OJS layouts

- Publishers looking for a better journal website structure

What We Help With

- ojs template customization
- ojs theme customization
- custom OJS theme design
- Custom designed OJS themes
- homepage and layout improvements
- interface refinement

Multilingual Journal Website
Some journals need their platforms to support more than one language to reach a wider academic audience. Academic Desk helps journals improve their platform for multilingual website support, so content, navigation, and user access can work more effectively across different language settings.
- multilingual platform setup
- language display configuration
- navigation and menu support
- content structure adjustments
- usability improvements for multi-language access
OJS Workflow Customization
Each journal has its own editorial and publishing procedure. That process may not always work with a standard workflow set up. Our OJS workflow customization service assists journals in customizing the platform in a way that is more compatible with their workflow and the processing of submissions, reviews, editorial decisions, and publication phases.
- editorial workflow refinement
- submission process adjustments
- role-based access configuration
- review stage structuring

We also help journals improve how the overall platform functions through broader OJS platform customization support. This includes changes that improve structure, usability, and day-to-day platform handling.
- menu and section restructuring
- page organization improvements
- admin-side usability adjustments
- workflow-related system refinements
- front-end and backend improvements
OJS System Modification
Some journals require changes that go beyond standard configuration options. Our OJS system modification support is suitable for journals that need more specific technical changes based on their workflow or publishing structure.
- Function-level platform changes
- Role and access adjustments
- Feature behaviour modifications
- Structure-related system updates
- Journal-specific implementation support
OJS Plug-In Customization
Plugins can extend journal functionality, but they do not always work exactly the way a journal needs them to. We provide OJS Plug-In Customization support for journals that need plugin-related improvements, adjustments, or better compatibility with their platform setup.
- plugin configuration support
- compatibility review
- plugin behaviour adjustments
- feature-specific modifications

Why This Matters
When you start a journal, a standard platform might be okay. It often doesn't give you the flexibility you need as time goes on. It is better to personalise your journal to make it look good. It is also easy to navigate through it with the help of the user. It simplifies work, such as editing and publishing. The organised platform simplifies the process of using and maintaining your journal on a daily basis. That is certainly assisted by journal customization.
