This research aims to design and develop a mobile-based online journal system for higher education institutions, addressing the need for improved accessibility and efficiency in academic publishing. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including comprehensive surveys and interviews with students, lecturers, and researchers to gather insights on user requirements and preferences. The findings reveal that the current online journal systems lack flexibility and mobile compatibility, with a mobile-ready test scoring only 0.9 out of 1, indicating it is running fine but a pressing need for enhancement. The proposed mobile journal system not only facilitates easier access to research articles but also streamlines the publishing process, significantly improving user engagement and satisfaction. In conclusion, the implementation of a mobile journal information system is essential for fostering a more inclusive academic environment, and future research should focus on integrating advanced technologies to further enhance system functionality and security.
