Features
Everything a journal needs, one module at a time.
Adopt a single module or the full suite. Each one stands alone, and together they share one record per article.
Submission
Manuscripts that arrive complete.
A configurable author wizard collects metadata, files and declarations in one guided flow, so editors start from a complete record instead of chasing missing details.
- Forms configured per journal and article type
- ORCID, ROR affiliations and CRediT contributor roles
- File versions with a full history until publication

Citation patterns across open-access journals
Authors

Peer review
Editorial control without the spreadsheet.
A complete editorial workspace for assigning editors, inviting reviewers, collecting reviews and sending decisions, with blinding enforced by the system rather than by habit.
- Single-blind, double-blind, open and transparent review models
- Reviewer database with matching and conflict-of-interest checks
- Invitations, reminders and escalation timers
Review · Double-blind · Reviewer 2
Our sample covers twelve disciplines. Sampling was stratified by journal age and policy type, then weighted by article volume.
Please explain how the strata were weighted.
Added to §3.2 in the revised file.

- Task board for copyediting, typesetting, proofing and QA
- JATS XML intake and PDF, HTML and ePub galleys

Across every module
Principles that apply everywhere.
- 01
One platform, one record
Submission, review, production and publishing share a single data model. Enter metadata once and it follows the article all the way to its DOI.
- 02
Use only what you need
Adopt a single module or the whole suite. Each module works on its own, takes work in from anywhere and hands finished work out.
- 03
Your data stays yours
Export everything at any time, keep files in your own storage bucket, run your own site from our API. Nothing is deleted without an administrator's approval.
- 04
Open standards by default
JATS XML, ORCID, ROR, CRediT, Crossref, OAI-PMH and COUNTER 5, so your content moves freely between systems.
- 05
Assistive AI, human decisions
Reviewer suggestions, screening and drafting help are always proposals. An editor confirms every decision that matters.
- 06
Accessible and multilingual
Designed to WCAG 2.2 AA and built for translation from the first day, for authors, reviewers and readers worldwide.
