Strategy and planning
Roadmaps, portfolio review, and evidence-based growth plans for journals and research offices.
- Lifecycle and launch planning
- Market-position assessment from documented sources
Consultancy
Publishing advice from a Saudi scholarly house
Engagements start with discovery: workflows, gaps, and written goals. We then propose a scoped package — a marketing audit, growth plan, metadata review, or operational roadmap. Short projects and longer retainers are both available. We complement a client’s team; we do not replace editorial independence.
Lumora is owned and operated in Saudi Arabia. Membership, advertising, and consultancy never influence peer review or editorial decisions.
Publishing support
Editorial operations, research-integrity review, and journal-programme support.
- Peer-review workflow design
- Integrity and ethics playbooks
Sales and commercial services
Institutional outreach, content packaging, and honest commercial options — never paid citations or link schemes.
- Institutional readership development
- APC waiver and membership packaging
Market intelligence
Desk research and competitor observation with labelled sources and freshness. Estimates are never presented as facts.
- Source-bound briefs
- Missing-data labelled, never filled with guesses
AI strategy for publishers
Tool selection, disclosure policy, and limited open checkers. Detection claims stay within what the tool can actually do.
- Peer-review, format, and originality workbenches
Change management
Platform migration, staff handover, and culture change for editorial offices.
- Runbooks, not slogans
Interim support
Time-boxed editorial, production, or operations coverage while a partner hires.
- Saudi-based team, documented hours
How we work
- Discovery first: listen, map the current workflow, and list evidence gaps.
- A written scope with deliverables, sources we will use, and what we will not claim.
- Saudi-based delivery and records. Client data stays in the agreed region.
- Recommendations cite sources. Missing data is labelled, not estimated in silence.
