{% hint style="info" %} January 2026: This page describes The Unjournal's current technical infrastructure for managing evaluations and publishing outputs. {% endhint %}
Our primary platform for publishing evaluation packages (evaluations, ratings, author responses, and manager summaries) is PubPub.
unjournal.pubpub.org — Browse all published evaluations
We work with Knowledge Futures to develop PubPub features that support journal-independent evaluation. Each evaluation receives a DOI and is indexed in academic search engines and bibliometrics.
We use Coda for internal workflow management, including:
- Research prioritization and tracking
- Evaluator recruitment and coordination
- Evaluation form submissions
- Payment processing
Most team processes are documented in our internal Coda workspace (accessible to team members).
This GitBook site serves as our public knowledge base, documenting:
- Our policies, guidelines, and evaluation workflow
- Background on The Unjournal's mission and approach
- Resources for evaluators, authors, and partners
- Historical records of our progress and development
The GitBook is searchable and regularly updated. See this-gitbook-editing-it-etc.md for information on contributing.

Archived: Previous platforms (2022-2023)
During our pilot phase, we explored several platforms:
- Kotahi: We initially used Kotahi for editorial management but moved away from it as our processes evolved. See archived Kotahi documentation.
- Sciety: We maintained a Sciety group for evaluation curation. While we remain interested in Sciety integration, our primary hosting is now on PubPub.
- Hypothes.is: Used as a workaround database during early development.
