What is Journey & Wisdom Publications?
Journey & Wisdom Publications is the publishing house behind JMVRA and a group of related journal, book, repository and publishing-service platforms. Rather than one website doing everything, the group runs separate domains for publication, DOI registration, similarity checking, journal management and conference management.
Why does one publisher run so many different domains?
Because they do different jobs. A journal platform, a book publishing house, a DOI registration service, a plagiarism-checking service, an editorial workflow system and a conference platform have different users and different obligations. Separating them keeps each one’s purpose legible instead of burying six services inside one homepage.
Are all of these platforms the same journal?
No. They are separate platforms with separate remits. JMVRA is one journal within the group. Publishing with JMVRA does not automatically publish your work anywhere else, and each platform has its own scope, editorial process and charges.
Which platform should I use for a research paper?
If your paper fits JMVRA’s scope, submit here — read the current call for papers first. If it does not, the broader multidisciplinary platforms such as ijpublication.org, ijwave.org and researchwave.org exist for exactly that case.
Which platform do I use for a book?
jwbook.org and jwpublication.org handle book publication — monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, conference proceedings and thesis-to-book projects. Our own book publication page explains the process, formats and charges.
What is jwdoi.org used for?
JWDOI handles CrossRef DOI registration and metadata deposit. A DOI gives your article a permanent, resolvable identifier and puts its metadata into the citation-linking network, so references to your paper keep working even if a site is reorganised years later.
Does a DOI from jwdoi.org mean my paper is indexed in Scopus?
No, and no DOI service anywhere can promise that. A DOI is a persistent identifier and a metadata deposit. Selective databases such as Scopus and Web of Science run their own source-selection processes. Verify any indexing claim in the database’s own source list.
What is jwscan.org and how is it different from a free plagiarism checker?
JWSCAN provides professional similarity checking through iThenticate by Turnitin. Unlike free web checkers, it searches subscription scholarly content from major publishers, which is where most undetected overlap in academic writing actually sits. It returns an overall similarity index plus a source-by-source breakdown.
Will checking my paper on jwscan.org get it flagged as plagiarised later?
No. iThenticate does not deposit your manuscript into the student repository the way a Turnitin class submission does, so a pre-submission check does not cause your own paper to match against itself afterwards. That is one of the main reasons researchers are told to use iThenticate rather than a student account.
What similarity percentage is acceptable?
There is no universal number, and any journal quoting one without looking at the report is not reading it properly. A single percentage can come from correctly quoted and cited material or from copied text — the source-by-source breakdown is what distinguishes them.
What is jwjms.org?
JWJMS is the journal management system: the editorial workflow software that carries a manuscript from submission through screening, reviewer assignment, revisions and the final decision, keeping a record of each step. Authors see it as a submission portal and status page; editors see it as the system that keeps a journal auditable.
What is jwcmt.org used for?
JWCMT is the Journal Wave Conference Management & Tracking System. Conference organisers use it for the call for papers, submissions, reviewer allocation, acceptance decisions, registration, scheduling and proceedings — and accepted papers can move into publication without being re-entered by hand.
What is the difference between openrgate.org and orwave.org?
They are sister platforms on the open-access side of the group. OpenRGATE.org is the repository and journal discovery platform — where finished work is deposited and where authors search for journals. Open Research Wave is the open-access publication platform. In practice most authors meet OpenRGATE at the end of a publication and Open Research Wave at the start.
Is er-society.org only for engineering?
That is its focus. Engineering Research Society publishes journal articles and books in engineering and applied technology, and hosts engineering event proceedings. Work outside engineering fits better on the multidisciplinary platforms.
What does scholarrpn.org do that a journal does not?
Scholar Research Publication Network is organised around researchers rather than titles. Its purpose is to connect an author’s published work, profile and citations so the record travels with the scholar across journals instead of being scattered.
Are these platforms UGC CARE Approved Journals?
UGC discontinued the UGC CARE listing framework in October 2024, so no journal anywhere can show a current CARE certificate. What you can and should check is the evidence the CARE framework was trying to enforce — ISSN, a named editorial board, a documented peer-review process, published ethics, working CrossRef DOIs and honest indexing claims — and then confirm your own institution’s current written rule.
How much does publication cost?
JMVRA publishes its charges in full: ₹971 INR for Indian authors and $41 USD for international authors. The charge covers online publication of the complete paper for up to five authors, individual softcopy certificates, a confirmation letter, formatting, a unique paper ID, digital library listing and lifetime availability. Optional items — CrossRef DOI, printed certificates, hard copies and similarity reports — are priced separately and listed openly. Other platforms in the network publish their own charges.
When do I pay, and is the fee refundable?
Charges become due after your paper is accepted, not at submission. Under the published refund policy payments are non-refundable once an article has been accepted, so read the Payment Terms page in full before paying — and never pay an account or contact that is not listed on our official payment pages.
Do I have to use the other platforms if I publish with JMVRA?
No. They are available, not compulsory. A CrossRef DOI, a similarity report, a printed hard copy and a repository deposit are each optional add-ons with their own published price. Publishing your paper does not require any of them.
How do I verify that any of these platforms is genuine?
Exactly the way you should verify any publisher: check the ISSN on the ISSN Portal, look for named editors with checkable affiliations, read the peer-review and ethics policies, open several published DOIs and confirm they resolve correctly, verify indexing claims in each database’s own source list, and read the complete fee before paying. Our ten-point journal quality guide walks through each check.
Where do I submit a paper right now?
Read the current call for papers to confirm scope, deadlines and article types, then submit through the official online submission page. Those are the only two links you need to start.
