ARPHA is a next-generation journal publishing platform developed by Pensoft Publishers that provides flexible, end-to-end services for scholarly publishing. It offers two different workflows for journal publishing - one based on XML and one based on traditional document formats. ARPHA supports the entire publishing process, including authoring, peer review, production, semantic enhancements, publication, archiving, and dissemination.
