Technical onboarding

Acceptance starts metadata checks and OJS/XML connection planning. It does not automatically publish a journal.

Transparent pilot criteria

Identity 20 · Editorial and ethics policies 25 · Archive and regularity 20 · Metadata readiness 25 · Contact transparency 10.

Acceptance requires at least 80/100 from an administrator's documented evidence, plus representation, metadata rights and conflict-of-interest checks. Missing evidence leads to a request for information. This pilot score is not an impact metric, accreditation or quality certificate.
