Questions
Yes. There is no 12-month commitment. A monthly plan runs to the end of the month you have paid for and then stops. A yearly plan runs to the end of its year.
Yes. Ask within the first 60 days at hello@scholardemia.com and we refund your plan fees, with free migration back if your journal leaves. Domain registrations are not refunded, and your domain stays yours.
It turns read-only at once: no new submissions, registrations, emails or changes. You can still sign in and export everything.
After 12 months, with reminder emails along the way, the site is taken down unless you subscribe again. You can still sign in and export everything after that, and nothing is deleted. Papers published with a DOI and certificate checks stay online for good on a permanent Scholardemia page. We never break your DOIs.
The journal stays readable and editable at its Scholardemia address, and authors keep submitting, reviewing and editing as before. New DOAJ exports and settings, journal domains, OJS imports, DOI provider settings, and Crossref, DataCite or Zenodo deposits and DOI adoption stop. You can still sign in and export everything. Published papers stay online, and their DOIs stay registered in the journal's own Crossref, DataCite or Zenodo account.
Your courses stay available and people keep enrolling, and export stays available. Course sales return to the 10% free-account fee, new hosted video uploads need Learning while videos already uploaded keep playing, LTI tools and your own institution sign-in need Learning, SCORM storage returns to the free allowance, and the Scholardemia mark returns. When a teacher leaves, course data is kept for 30 days, trial Workspaces included.
No, never. The money from conference registrations is yours. Stripe charges its own card fees.
Free accounts can teach and sell as a person or Workspace, including certificates, badges and course marketing. We keep 10% of each paid sale before VAT, returned on refunds. Learning removes this fee and adds Mux hosting, bigger SCORM storage, LTI, your own institution sign-in and removal of the Scholardemia mark. Stripe processing fees still apply.
Two products cost £198 a month and all three cost £199. We would rather you had the whole platform. Yearly follows the same rule: two cost £2,178 and all three cost £2,189.
Yes, at any time. Adding a product costs the difference for the days left in your billing period. Removing one gives you a credit on your next invoice.
You pay for 11 months and get 12. One product costs £1,089 a year and all three cost £2,189.
No. Invite your whole board, committee and team at no extra cost.
No. Scholardemia journals do not charge article processing charges (APCs).
Online payments are processed by Stripe. Third-party processing fees apply.

You can export every course you own at any time in open formats at no charge and for 30 days after you leave. Read the course exit commitment. Export or import a course.
