The Journal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society revamped on ARPHA Platform

The


Journal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society


, the oldest and most representative academic outlet of the

Bulgarian Geographical Society

, now boasts an improved publishing infrastructure after moving to the technologically advanced

ARPHA Platform

and signing with scholarly publisher and technology provider

Pensoft

.

The

Journal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society

is an international scientific journal dedicated to all fields of geography and interrelated fields of earth, ecological, social, economic and geoinformation sciences. It has a global geographical scope with a focus on Southeastern Europe and the Balkans, and its first issue dates back to 1933.

Having already acquired its own glossy and user-friendly

website

provided by ARPHA, the journal also takes advantage of the platform’s signature fast-track publishing system, which offers an end-to-end solution from submission to publication, distribution and archiving.

With features such as machine-readable XML format for papers, automated data export to aggregators, automated email notifications and reminders, and web-service integrations with major global indexing databases, the easy-to-use, open-access platform ensures that published research is easy to discover, access, cite and reuse by both humans and machines all over the world. The journal is now indexed in the likes of

,

Google Scholar

,

OpenCitations

,

and

Scibey

, and archived in

CLOCKSS

,

Portico

and

Zenodo

.

The very first publications for 2021 (vol. 44) are out now. An

opening editorial

presents the background, the new mission and perspectives of the journal. A

paper

, authored by Stanley D. Brunn, communicates the mapping morality and its visible and invisible geographies. The rest of the issue’s articles will be published upon approval, following a “flow publishing” schedule.

“In the autumn of 2020, the editorial team and the executive committee of the Bulgarian Geographical Society agreed upon a new mission of the journal. It aims to respond and to adapt to the newest developments in scholarly publishing by providing a platform for high quality and innovative papers in all fields of geography and interrelated fields of earth, ecological, social, economic, and geoinformation sciences. The geographical scope of the journal will cover the entire world with special attention to Southeastern Europe and the Balkans,” comment the journal’s editors.

“In these days of continuous speeding up of paces of work and life, the idea of facilitating the sharing of existing knowledge in order to create synergies, new knowledge, and innovation is more than timely and our journal can join the efforts to achieve these goals. That is why we are excited by the launch of JBGS on the ARPHA platform – a next-generation publishing solution that supports the full life cycle of a manuscript, from authoring and reviewing to publishing and dissemination.”

This partnership is the latest addition to Pensoft’s track record of collaboration with scientific societies. Earlier this year, three of

‘s journals –


Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny


,


Vertebrate Zoology


and


Geologica Saxonica


,

transitioned

to ARPHA’s platform.
