Open access
What publication actually costs, stated up front
Article processing charges published before submission, with waivers set out rather than negotiated case by case.
Below is a concept, not a real business. One version of what you could build on internationaljournal.org.
International Journal
Journals
Peer-reviewed research, openly available.
Open-access publishing with transparent review, declared fees, and indexing that authors can verify before they submit rather than after.
Browse researchPeer review
Review that is visible
Reports published alongside the paper where authors agree, so readers can see what was challenged.
Indexing
Where a paper will be discoverable
Named databases and the criteria each applies. The single question authors most need answered and least often are.
Ethics
Retraction handled properly
A stated policy, applied consistently, and published when it is used.
Authors deserve to know the terms before they submit.
Ours are on one page.
Several thousand academic journals begin their title with these two words. It is the standard opening of the entire naming convention.
On .org it reads exactly as scholarly publishing is expected to read, which is a real asset in a sector where authors judge legitimacy in seconds and a .com raises questions a publisher would rather not answer.
It is broad rather than specific, which suits a publisher running many titles more than it suits any single journal.
Some ideas
A few things you could build here
None of these are the "right" answer. They're just starting points, and if you have a better one, we'd genuinely like to hear it.
An open-access publisher
A house name for a family of titles, on an extension that signals scholarship before anyone reads a word.
An indexing or discovery service
Authors need to know where a paper will actually be found, and the honest version of that service does not exist at a name anybody remembers.
A scholarly society
Societies publish, and most of them are on an address that does not say so.
A preprint or repository project
Institutional and funder mandates keep pushing this, and the infrastructure is still being built.
If you want it
We can build whatever you have in mind
Most domains are sold by people who only sell domains. Savo Group is a design, software, and marketing company, so if you want internationaljournal.org live and working rather than parked, that is a conversation we can actually have. Entirely optional, quoted separately from the name, and no hard feelings if you already have a team.
Design and brand
Identity, site design, and the whole visual system. If you have a name and nothing else, this is where it starts.
Software and product
Web apps, platforms, integrations. The thing itself, not just the site that describes it.
Search and growth
SEO, content, and paid acquisition. Getting the domain found once it has something worth finding.
Tick the box on the offer form and we will include some thoughts on what internationaljournal.org could become when we reply. Or say nothing, and we will just talk about the domain.
Terms
Two ways to acquire it
Not every buyer is in the same position, so the domain is available on any of the following. Tell us which suits you and we will put figures against it.
Purchase
Price on application
Pay in full and own it outright.
- internationaljournal.org transfers to your registrar account, normally within three to five business days.
- Full ownership from the moment the transfer completes.
- Escrow.com available on request, with the fee split or covered by us on larger sales.
Lease
Agreed with you
Use the domain without buying it.
- We keep ownership and point internationaljournal.org to your site for a monthly fee.
- The rate depends on the term and what you are building, so we agree it with you rather than publishing one.
- Sensible if you want to test a brand before committing to the full price.
- Cancel with 30 days notice, or convert to a purchase at any point.
Whichever route you take, there is no broker in the middle and no commission added to the price. Offers receive a reply within one business day.
Still thinking about it?
Names like this tend to sit until someone decides they want it, and then move quickly. If you're weighing it up, send a number and start the conversation. There's no obligation on either side.
