Vidwana is an open research repository and publishing platform — a place where scholarly work finds its readers. We bring together publications, researchers, journals, and conferences in one discoverable home, with real citation metrics drawn from across the web.
What Vidwana is
Vidwana helps researchers publish, discover, and track scholarly work. Every publication gets a permanent, citable page with rich metadata, real reads and citation counts, and structured data so it can be found by search engines and indexing services. Researchers get a profile that showcases their work and its impact.
What you can do here
- Publish and share — add your papers, preprints, theses, datasets, and more, with public or private full text.
- Track real impact — see reads and citation metrics aggregated from sources like CrossRef, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar.
- Build your profile — a scholarly home page with your publications, disciplines, and analytics.
- Connect — follow other researchers, ask and answer questions, and message peers.
- Discover — browse by discipline, explore journals and conferences, and search across everything.
For journals and publishers
Publishers can claim and manage their journals, keep their details and ISSNs up to date, and publish works on behalf of their authors. We also offer a complete publishing platform and OJS services — from submissions and peer review to JATS production and automated PDF generation — to help journals run and grow.
For conference organizers
Organizers can give their conference a home on Vidwana — a public site for details and submissions, and a permanent, citable record of its proceedings. Past conferences can be claimed and managed too, just like journals.
Tools for authors
Our free JATS XML converter turns Word manuscripts into clean, publication-ready JATS XML, with a full editor for figures, tables, and references. It's free for both authors and publishers.
Our mission
We believe research is more valuable when it's open, discoverable, and properly credited. Vidwana exists to make scholarly work easier to share, easier to find, and easier to build a career around — for individual researchers and for the journals and conferences that publish them.
