About Open Paper Call

Last updated: 27 September 2026

Open Paper Call is an independent research-discovery service designed to help researchers find relevant academic calls for papers and special issues without visiting multiple publisher websites one by one.

What the service does

Open Paper Call brings together selected factual information from official publisher sources and organizes it into a searchable format. Depending on the source, this may include the journal name, call title, submission deadline, topic tags, guest editors, publisher, and the date on which the record was last checked.

Open Paper Call adds value by normalizing deadlines, grouping calls by discipline and topic, creating concise original summaries, providing search and filtering tools, and maintaining a verification timestamp. The full call, eligibility requirements, manuscript instructions, fees, and submission process remain on the publisher's official website.

Who it is for

The service is intended for researchers, lecturers, postgraduate students, research administrators, and other authors who are looking for suitable journal opportunities.

Independence

Open Paper Call is not a publisher, journal, indexing service, submission system, or journal-ranking authority. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, it is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the publishers and journals displayed on the site.

Journal Finder

Open Paper Call includes a Journal Finder that displays year-specific SJR journal information from the stated SCImago Journal & Country Rank dataset. The reference year and source are shown clearly so researchers can distinguish historical journal metrics from current indexing status.
