StrataPress · Publishing infrastructure for ASEAN
A publishing platform for journals, research publications, and industry knowledge — built for educators, trade bodies, and institutions that have never had somewhere serious to put what they know.
Who it's for
The school whose student research disappears at the end of term. The industry body whose practitioners' expertise exists only in their heads. Both deserve a permanent, citable, findable home for what they know.

The platform
Bring your domain. We handle everything underneath — the reading experience, submission pipeline, peer review, DOI registration, subscriptions, and institutional access.
Public journal
Beautiful reading experience on your own domain. Paywalled at article level — free abstracts, paid full text.
Submission portal
Authors submit at submit.[yourdomain]. Manuscript, metadata, and status tracking in one place.
Peer review
Private reviewer environment at review.[yourdomain]. Institutional email login — no passwords to manage.
Editorial dashboard
Every submission, its status, assigned reviewers, and publication queue in one place.
DOI & ISSN
Every accepted paper gets a DOI. ISSN support included. Your work becomes permanently citable.
Institutional access
Domain-based access for organisations. One subscription covers everyone with the right email.
Content
A journal that publishes four papers a year isn't enough to justify a subscription. StrataPress supports all four content types — so readers have a reason to return daily, not just quarterly.
Pricing
We charge less because we believe the value of knowledge belongs to the people who created it. No hidden fees. No per-submission charges. No surprises.

Why we exist
"Knowledge that isn't published doesn't exist. Every school paper that disappears at the end of term, every engineer's expertise that retires with them, every practitioner's insight that never left the room — that is knowledge the world needed and never got."
StrataPress is powered by Pulai — named after the Scholar Tree, Alstonia scholaris, the tree that monks and scholars carved manuscripts into. We are building what comes next: infrastructure that captures knowledge, makes it permanent, and returns its value to the people who created it.
