We provides publisher-level guidance on platform and publishing support for journals launched, transferred, relaunched, hosted, or developed in partnership with CorayNova. Support may cover platform services, editorial workflows, metadata, publishing policies, production coordination, training, technical assistance, and communications. The scope of support depends on each journal’s publishing model, agreement, operational needs, available platform capacity, and approved support plan.

• General Support Areas

The support available for a journal depends on the journal's approved cooperation model, workflow, field, access model, production needs, technical requirements, and agreement terms.

• Support Boundaries

Platform and publishing support is intended to assist journal operations and development. It does not guarantee indexing or database coverage, an Impact Factor, external recognition, society membership, journal rankings, submission numbers, publication volumes, acceptance rates, revenue, publicity outcomes, or third-party endorsement.

Journals may adopt tailored workflows through agreement with CorayNova. These arrangements should remain consistent with CorayNova’s core policies and expectations for publication ethics, peer review, record-keeping, platform operation, and public transparency.

• Preservation and Continuity

CorayNova encourages eligible journals / content to use the PKP Preservation Network where supported by platform and journal configuration. LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, and similar additional preservation services are strongly encouraged but not publisher-mandated unless formally adopted by the relevant journal or agreement.
