Scholar Research Publication Network
scholarrpn.org: Peer Review, Mentorship & Research Visibility
Transparent peer review with a verifiable certificate, 1-on-1 mentorship, a free open access repository, journal discovery, and indexing guidance for journals and institutions — the scholar-facing side of the publisher network behind JMVRA.
Key takeaways
- scholarrpn.org offers transparent peer review, reviewer certificates, mentorship, an open access repository and indexing consultancy for researchers, journals and institutions.
- The SRPN journal score is the platform’s own rating; it is not an impact factor and should be read with its method.
- Reviewers and mentors join by application; JMVRA runs its own reviewer programme with a transparent peer review certificate.
- Publishing in JMVRA itself costs ₹971 INR for Indian authors and $41 USD for international authors, due only after acceptance; reviewing is free to join.
scholarrpn.org — Scholar Research Publication Network — is a scholar-facing platform in the same publisher network as JMVRA, built to serve researchers, journal publishers, institutions and subject experts across disciplines. Rather than organising around a single journal title, it organises around the researcher: their publications, their review record, their profile.
It brings together transparent peer review, journal indexing support, an open-access repository, mentorship and impact-evaluation tools into one space — described in full in this article, section by section.
scholarrpn.org is a separate platform from the journal itself. Ready to submit a paper to JMVRA directly? Read the current call for papers.

For Researchers
Peer Review Certificate
Verified evidence that a paper was evaluated by qualified academic professionals under a structured, ethical process — useful for CVs, institutional reports and grant applications.
Mentorship via video call
1-on-1 sessions with verified subject experts across disciplines — methodology, thesis or journal-selection help, draft feedback, academic career questions.
Open access repository
Free archiving for preprints, published papers, supplementary materials and datasets, with long-term preservation and open-access mandate compliance.
Journal discovery & SRPN Journal Score
A journal-finder tool plus a platform-specific evaluation score covering visibility, review transparency and citation activity — a helpful signal, not a substitute for verifying Scopus, Web of Science or CrossRef DOI status directly.
Editorial infrastructure
For Publishers & Journals
Transparent peer review system
Complete, time-stamped logs of reviewer comments and decisions, downloadable for editorial records — demonstrable evidence of a fair, accountable process.
SRPN Journal Score
A composite score based on editorial board strength, peer-review transparency, indexing status and site accessibility — again, a platform-specific evaluation, not an impact factor.
Indexing consultancy
Guidance toward meeting UGC CARE, Scopus, Web of Science and DOAJ criteria — pre-submission review of eligibility and support through the application process. No platform, including this one, can guarantee any indexing outcome.
One dashboard, whole faculty
For Institutions
Centralised academic record
A consolidated profile of teaching and research experience, publications and citations, peer-review and editorial-board certificates, and conference activity — usable for performance reviews and accreditation.
Research impact measurement
Publication metrics across departments, peer-review and editorial-board activity by faculty, and custom reports for audits, rankings and accreditations.
Contribute your expertise
Join as a Reviewer, Mentor or Technical Expert
Researchers, technical experts and academicians can apply to serve as reviewers or mentors, support journals technically (CMS and journal-management platforms), or offer consultancy — indexing guidance, DOI integration support, plagiarism-check setup — from their own scholarrpn.org profile, which showcases published research, professional experience, education and review or editorial credentials.
On visa-support documentation: transparent peer-review participation and verified editorial-board credentials can strengthen an academic profile submitted with an immigration application. That is documentation support only — it does not determine or guarantee any immigration outcome, and applicants should consult a qualified immigration attorney for that process.
A necessary distinction
The SRPN Journal Score Is Not an Impact Factor
scholarrpn.org’s journal-evaluation score looks at editorial board strength, peer-review transparency, indexing status and site accessibility. It is a useful, honestly-labelled signal — and it is not the Journal Impact Factor, which is a specific Clarivate metric published in the Journal Citation Reports.
This distinction is not pedantry. Our own decoder guide exists precisely because journal websites routinely present an unrelated score as if it were an impact factor. Ask, of any number: which provider, which methodology, which year — and treat a platform-specific evaluation score as exactly that.

Joining as a reviewer, mentor or expert
Four stages from application to the first certificate. Verification protects authors; the certificate rewards the reviewer.
- ApplySend your subject area, qualifications and a profile link through the platform’s form.
- VerifyThe team checks the profile and affiliation before any manuscript is assigned.
- Review or mentorPapers in your field, with a stated deadline and a structured report form.
- CertificateA transparent peer review certificate for each completed review, usable in your CV.
Before you rely on any journal score
The SRPN score, like every platform score, is useful only when you know what went into it.
- A score names its provider, the metric, the year and the method
- It is not called an “impact factor” unless Clarivate publishes it
- The journal’s ISSN, review policy and fees are checked separately from any score
- For JMVRA: 11.25 is a calculated metric from Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar citations, not a Clarivate JIF
- A high or low score never replaces your institution’s written rule

scholarrpn.org FAQs
These visible answers also power the FAQ structured data on this page.
What is scholarrpn.org?
Scholar Research Publication Network (scholarrpn.org) is the scholar-facing side of the JMVRA publisher’s network — a platform organised around researchers and their work rather than around a single journal title, offering transparent peer review, mentorship, an open access repository and journal discovery.
What is a Peer Review Certificate?
Verified evidence that a paper underwent evaluation by qualified academic professionals under a structured, ethical review process on scholarrpn.org. It can support academic CVs, institutional performance reports and grant or fellowship applications.
Is the SRPN Journal Score the same as a journal Impact Factor?
No, and this distinction matters. The Journal Impact Factor is a specific Clarivate metric published in the Journal Citation Reports. The SRPN Journal Score is a separate, platform-specific evaluation covering editorial board strength, review transparency and indexing status — useful context, but not a substitute for checking a journal’s actual Impact Factor claim, or its Scopus and Web of Science status, at the source.
Does scholarrpn.org guarantee my journal gets indexed in Scopus or UGC CARE?
No. Indexing consultancy on scholarrpn.org means guidance — eligibility review and application support — toward meeting a database’s own criteria. No service anywhere can guarantee an outcome that database controls entirely.
What is the mentorship via video call service?
1-on-1 sessions with verified subject-matter experts, for help with research methodology, thesis structure, journal selection, draft feedback or academic career questions — across disciplines including science, engineering, medicine, social sciences and law.
What does the open access repository offer?
Free archiving of preprints, published papers, supplementary materials and datasets, with long-term preservation, compliance support for funder open-access mandates, and integration with a researcher’s scholarrpn.org profile.
How does scholarrpn.org help journals specifically?
A transparent, time-stamped peer-review system with downloadable logs for editorial records, a platform-specific evaluation score, and indexing consultancy guiding journals toward UGC CARE, Scopus, Web of Science and DOAJ criteria.
How does scholarrpn.org help institutions?
A centralised academic record consolidating faculty teaching and research experience, publications, citations and review/editorial credentials, plus research-impact measurement and custom reporting for audits, rankings and accreditation.
Can I join scholarrpn.org as a reviewer or mentor?
Researchers, technical experts and academicians can apply to serve as reviewers or mentors, support journals technically, or offer consultancy services, each with a customisable profile showcasing published work, experience and credentials.
Does scholarrpn.org support visa applications?
Transparent peer-review services and verified editorial-board credentials can strengthen an academic or professional profile submitted as part of an immigration application. This is documentation support only — it does not itself determine or guarantee any immigration outcome, and a qualified immigration attorney should be consulted for that process.
Is scholarrpn.org part of JMVRA?
It is part of the same publisher network as JMVRA, described in full on our network overview page, but it is a separate platform with its own scope. Using scholarrpn.org does not itself publish anything in JMVRA or any other network journal.
Where do I submit my paper to JMVRA?
Read the current call for papers to confirm scope, article types and deadlines, then submit through the official online submission page.
