RQL Journal Network · Workspace Application

Apply for a Journal Workspace

Create a new RQL Journal Workspace or upgrade an existing verified Journal Presence. Applications are reviewed before approval so journal identity, management responsibility, and intended workflow use can be confirmed.

Journal identity Build a professional public journal profile and directory presence.
Editorial workflow Manage screening, reviewer recruitment, submissions, and publication activity.
Flexible infrastructure Select the RQL journal capabilities that match your publication model.

Choose Your Journal Path

RQL keeps one canonical Journal identity. Choose whether this is a new Journal Workspace or an upgrade of an existing Journal Presence.

New Journal Workspace

For a Journal that does not yet have an RQL Journal identity.

Use new-Journal path
Upgrade Existing Journal Presence

For a Journal already represented on RQL that you are verified to manage. The existing Journal identity will be reused.

Use Presence-upgrade path
Current path: New Journal → Workspace

Included Quality Analysis Trial

One month · 10 free successful Quality Analysis cycles

Each successful Quality Analysis of a new manuscript version uses one free cycle. Viewing or reusing the same analysis at Screening, Handling, or Decision Desk does not use another cycle or additional Journal credits.

Failed or aborted analysis does not use a free cycle. Unused free cycles expire when the one-month trial ends. After the trial, each successful new Quality Analysis cycle costs 2 Journal credits.

Submitting this form is an application for a journal workspace. It does not itself create or approve the workspace. RQL reviews the application before journal-manager access is granted.

Review the journal and applicant information before submitting the workspace request.
