Access Control

JMS is what happens when you build
a journal platform in 2026, not 2006.

One platform: articles, website, billing, analytics
5+ separate tools, 5+ logins, 5+ bills
Structured everything: authors, affiliations, references
Free-text fields. Hope the editor spelled it right.
Automatic JATS XML, DOI metadata, index tracker
Manual XML conversion. Manual Crossref submission.
Article-native analytics: views, downloads, geo
Google Analytics + URL filters
APC billing that works anywhere: bank, bKash, Nagad
Stripe-only billing that excludes half of global authors
Visual issue assembly: drag, drop, order
Number fields. Wait, which article is #4?
Modern, fast, clean UI: Next.js 16, instant loads
Legacy PHP interfaces. Page reloads. 2000s design.
Zero DevOps: works in any browser
php.ini memory limit exceeded. Plugin conflicts.
Your data, your server: self-hosted
Cloud-only SaaS: vendor lock-in
AI-powered editorial assistant: PDF extraction, equations, tables
Manual data entry for every submission
Publisher dashboard for multi-journal portfolios
No unified view across journals
Daily cloud backups + file encryption at rest
We back up sometimes... we think?
Who Is JMS For?

If any of these sound familiar,
JMS is for you.

"We use OJS but the interface frustrates our editors and authors every day."

"Our APC billing is an Excel sheet, an email template, and crossed fingers."

"We generate JATS XML manually and dread every new issue."

"We want to stop paying for 5 different SaaS subscriptions to run one journal."
