Journey & Wisdom Publications is the publishing group behind JMVRA. Instead of one website trying to do everything, the group runs a family of focused products: thirteen publication platforms for journals and books, and four shared services that every one of them uses — similarity checking, journal management, DOI registration and conference management. This guide introduces each product with its logo, its address and exactly what it is for, so you can go straight to the right one.
The Journey & Wisdom Network at a Glance
Publication platforms on the outside, shared infrastructure in the middle. The services are what let thirteen separate platforms behave consistently.

Every platform in the group relies on the same four services. Whichever journal or book platform you publish on, these are the tools working behind it.
JWSCAN — Plagiarism & similarity check
jwscan.orgJWSCAN checks a manuscript for overlap before it is submitted, using professional iThenticate similarity detection, and returns an overall similarity index with a source-by-source breakdown — the part an editor actually reads.
- iThenticate by Turnitin similarity report
- Overall index plus matched sources
- Checked before submission, not after acceptance
Best for: Authors who want a clean report before they submit, and editors screening new manuscripts.
JWJMS — Journal management system
jwjms.orgJWJMS is the editorial workflow software behind the journals: online submission, desk screening, reviewer invitations and reminders, revision rounds, decisions and issue building, with a complete record of every step.
- Submission portal and author dashboard
- Reviewer assignment, reminders and reports
- Issue building and publication scheduling
Best for: Editors and institutions launching or running a journal.
JWDOI — CrossRef DOI registration
jwdoi.orgJWDOI registers CrossRef DOIs and deposits article metadata, so every published paper gets a permanent, resolvable identifier that keeps working however a website is reorganised later.
- Permanent CrossRef DOIs
- Full metadata deposit
- Journals, books, chapters and proceedings
Best for: Authors who need a citable DOI, and journals that want DOIs without joining CrossRef directly.
JWCMT — Conference management & tracking
jwcmt.orgJWCMT runs an academic conference end to end — call for papers, submissions, reviewer allocation, decisions, registration, scheduling and proceedings — and lets accepted papers move into publication without being re-typed.
- Call for papers and submission portal
- Reviewer allocation and decision tracking
- Registration, schedule and proceedings
Best for: Colleges, universities and societies organising seminars and conferences.
The Thirteen Publication Platforms
Each platform has its own remit. JMVRA is one journal within the group; the platforms below are separate titles and publishing routes with their own scope and process.
JW Publication
jwpublication.orgPublisher front door. The publishing house’s own platform for journals and books — the natural starting point when you do not yet know which title your work belongs in.
Best for: Authors and institutions choosing where to begin.
JWBPN
jwbpn.orgNetwork hub. Journal Wave & Book Publication Network ties the journals, book platforms and shared services together and lists every service in one place.
Best for: Anyone evaluating the group as a whole.
Journal Wave
jwwave.orgFlagship Wave platform. The flagship platform the JW-prefixed services take their name from, publishing peer-reviewed journal content and books.
Best for: Authors who want the core Wave publishing route.
International Journal Wave
ijwave.orgInternational publication. Peer-reviewed journal articles and academic books for an international readership.
Best for: International authors and cross-border collaborations.
Journal & Publication Wave
japwave.orgGeneral publication. A straightforward, general-purpose route for a single paper or book, handled end to end.
Best for: A simple, general route to publication.
Journal & Research Wave
jrwave.orgResearch-output publication. Original studies, empirical work and research reports, published as articles or collected into books.
Best for: Primary research and empirical results.
Research Wave
researchwave.orgResearch dissemination. Journal articles and books with an emphasis on reach: open metadata, repository deposit and discovery feeds.
Best for: Authors whose priority is readership and citation.
Open Research Wave
orwave.orgOpen-access publication. The open-access arm of the network, so finished research is free to read, with metadata deposited for discovery.
Best for: Authors with an open-access requirement.
OpenRGATE
openrgate.orgRepository & discovery. A free open-access repository and journal-discovery platform — where finished work is deposited so it stays findable.
Best for: Depositing accepted work and searching for journals.
International Journal Publication
ijpublication.orgMultidisciplinary publication. Broad, multidisciplinary journal and book publication across science, engineering, management and humanities.
Best for: Interdisciplinary manuscripts.
Engineering Research Society
er-society.orgEngineering society. Engineering-focused journal articles, books and event proceedings, with discipline-specific review.
Best for: Engineering and technology researchers.
JW Book
jwbook.orgBook publication. Monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, proceedings and thesis-to-book projects, with ISBN handling and production.
Best for: Book authors and volume editors.
Scholar Research Publication Network
scholarrpn.orgScholar network. A network organised around researchers, connecting an author’s publications, profile and citations.
Best for: Scholars building a visible publication record.
How the Products Work Together: One Paper’s Journey
- Check originality with JWSCAN
Run the manuscript through a similarity check before it goes anywhere, and fix any unattributed overlap. - Submit and review through JWJMS
The journal’s submission portal, reviewer assignment and revision rounds all run in the journal management system. - Publish on the right platform
The accepted paper is published by JMVRA or by the platform whose scope fits it — a Wave journal, a multidisciplinary title or a book. - Register a DOI with JWDOI
The article receives a CrossRef DOI and its metadata is deposited, so it stays permanently citable. - Archive and discover with OpenRGATE
The finished work is deposited in the repository, where readers and discovery services can find it. - Present it at a conference with JWCMT
Conference papers go through JWCMT and can move into proceedings or journal publication without being re-entered.
