About PaperNova
PaperNova is an independent online publication platform built to help students and early-career researchers obtain a simple, affordable certificate of publication they can submit to their college or university.
What we do
We accept student research paper submissions, review them through our editorial process, host them on this website, and issue a certificate of publication. That is the entire service — nothing more, nothing hidden. Our goal is to give students a legitimate, transparent way to document their research activity.
Where your paper is published
All papers are published on PaperNova only. We do not forward, link, submit, or cross-publish your work to any external journal, database, or third-party website. Your paper lives on PaperNova and nowhere else.
No affiliation with any journal
PaperNova is not affiliated, associated, endorsed by, or in collaboration with any academic journal, publisher, university, indexing service (Scopus, Web of Science, UGC-CARE, DOAJ, IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, etc.), or any other research publication body. We make no such claims.
Who it's for
Students who need documented proof of a publishing activity for college records, coursework submissions, portfolios, or internal academic requirements.
If your college specifically requires a Scopus, UGC-CARE, or peer-reviewed indexed journal publication, PaperNova is not the right fit — please check with your institution first.
