Welcome to Academic Stack (ASX / asx.pub) — a professional, cloud-based platform that provides end-to-end solutions for Open Access (OA) academic publishing. We are dedicated to simplifying and modernizing every stage of the publishing workflow, empowering editors, institutions, and researchers to launch and manage their journals efficiently and sustainably.

Who We Are

Academic Stack is developed and operated by a team of publishing and technology professionals with extensive experience in Open Access journal management, peer-review systems, and digital publishing infrastructure.
We created Academic Stack to remove the technical and operational barriers that often slow down scholarly publishing. Whether you are an individual editor starting your first journal or an organization managing a portfolio of publications, our platform enables you to focus on editorial quality and scientific contribution — not technical complexity.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower global scholars and publishers through accessible, scalable, and affordable publishing technology.
We believe that Open Access should not only mean “free to read” but also “free to create” — a model where technology, compliance, and sustainability work together to make research dissemination truly open and inclusive.

Our Vision

We aim to build a global ecosystem for Open Access publishing where:

• The publishing process is transparent, secure, and intuitive.

• Researchers and editors of all backgrounds can operate professional journals without technical constraints.

• Open Access is driven by robust infrastructure and long-term support rather than short-term cost models.

• Editors, reviewers, and authors can focus entirely on advancing science, while the platform handles the technology behind it.

What We Offer

Academic Stack provides three comprehensive solutions tailored to different needs:

• AS Cloud – a self-service SaaS platform designed for individuals or single-journal publishers. Create and launch a journal in minutes, customize your domain, enable HTTPS automatically, and manage submissions, peer review, and publication in one place — no coding or server setup required.

• AS Enterprise – for institutions or organizations managing multiple journals. Enterprise users can enjoy centralized management, advanced workflow customization, analytics dashboards, and full API integration.

• Co-Launch Program – ideal for scholars or editorial teams without technical backgrounds. You define the academic direction; we provide the technical foundation, continuous support, and compliance assistance.
