Launching and maintaining an academic journal is complex and resource-intensive. Many editorial boards face challenges with managing peer review, ensuring ethical publishing practices, achieving indexing and discoverability, and adapting to Open Access standards. Without dedicated infrastructure and publishing expertise, even high-potential journals risk low visibility, poor submissions, and limited impact.
