About Our Journal Platform

Why OJS?

OJS is an open-source software developed by the Public Knowledge Project, offering robust features ideal for academic journals like IRMR. Key reasons include its streamlined workflow for submissions, peer review, editing, and publication; cost-free accessibility that aligns with resource-limited publishers; and built-in tools for indexing, archiving, and DOI assignment to enhance visibility.

IRMR opted for an open access model over paid subscriptions to democratize knowledge. This decision prioritizes unrestricted global access to research, fostering collaboration and innovation without financial barriers.

At IRMR, we firmly believe knowledge should be open to all, driving national progress and elevating human capabilities through shared multidisciplinary insights.

The Use of OJS and Google Sites

The journal utilizes two complementary platforms to effectively serve its authors, reviewers, researchers, and readers: Open Journal Systems (OJS) and Google Sites.

Open Journal Systems (OJS): Official Publishing Platform

The IRMR Open Journal Systems (OJS) website serves as the journal's official publishing and archival platform. It is responsible for managing the publication process and ensuring the accessibility and visibility of scholarly works. Through OJS, IRMR provides:

• Publication and archiving of all accepted articles

• Open-access access to published research papers

• Article landing pages for individual publications

• Integration with Crossref for DOI registration and metadata distribution

• Citation tracking and indexing support

• Preservation of complete journal archives from previous and current issues

• Standardized scholarly publishing workflows and metadata management

As the journal's official publication platform, OJS is the primary source for accessing published articles, citation information, and official publication records.

Google Sites: Information and Communication Platform

The IRMR Google Sites website serves as the journal's information and communication hub. It is designed to provide a user-friendly environment where authors, reviewers, and visitors can easily access important journal resources and services. Through this platform, users can find:

• Journal aims, scope, and mission

• Author guidelines and submission procedures

• Publication ethics and editorial policies

• Manuscript templates and formatting requirements

• Reviewer guidelines and application information

• Journal announcements, calls for papers, and updates

• Available editorial and publication services

• Frequently asked questions and contact information

By combining the robust publishing capabilities of OJS with the accessibility and convenience of Google Sites, IRMR ensures a seamless experience for researchers—from manuscript submission and publication to accessing journal information and resources.
