Yes — registered non-profits, learned societies, university presses and titles indexed in DOAJ qualify for 30% off the Growth and Scale plans. Reach out from your institutional email to apply.
The allowance covers your whole organization and resets on the subscription anniversary. A manuscript counts when it is first submitted. Revisions, editorial decisions and transfers between your organization’s journals do not consume another slot. Withdrawn manuscripts remain counted for that year.
Each person with editorial workspace access counts once across the organization, including administrators, production staff and pending invitations. Author-only and reviewer-only roles do not use editor seats.
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately and are pro-rated. Downgrades apply on your next renewal so your team keeps every feature for the period you already paid for.
All major credit cards, ACH, SEPA, and wire transfers via Stripe. Enterprise customers can be invoiced annually with NET 30 terms.
Always. Every plan includes one-click JATS, CSV, and full-archive ZIP exports of your journals, submissions, reviews, and decisions.
