Yogesh Singh Bisht
I'm a full-stack developer and OJS specialist with over 10 years of experience in academic publishing technology. I work directly with universities, research institutions, editorial boards, and independent scholars to set up, improve, and prepare journals using Open Journal Systems (OJS).
My work follows ethical publishing practices and internationally accepted standards such as COPE, DOAJ, Crossref, and Google Scholar — with a clear focus on long-term indexing readiness, not shortcuts or false guarantees.
From journal website development and SEO optimization to Scopus readiness and JATS XML integration, I provide end-to-end solutions that help journals meet international indexing standards.
