One system of record for intake, technical validation, academic-editor and peer review, decisions, revisions, proofing, and production — built for editorial boards, not spreadsheets.
Authors submit through a structured form, with the full submission versioned from the start — nothing is ever overwritten, only superseded.
An editor works through a configurable checklist and a plagiarism/similarity check before a manuscript ever reaches a reviewer — cleared or technically rejected.
A handling editor assigns an academic editor, who can pre-reject a manuscript that isn't a fit, or move it into peer review — a real second editorial tier, not a rubber stamp.
Single- or double-blind review with primary and alternate reviewer lists, invite/accept/decline tracking, and confidential comments kept separate from what the author sees.
Accept, reject, or request minor/major revision, with a templated decision letter. The academic editor can also query the editor or reassign — revised manuscripts return to the same thread, tracked by revision round, nothing starts over.
Once accepted, a typeset proof goes out for markup — page-anchored, resolvable annotations, multiple rounds if needed. On approval, the final web article and PDF are auto-generated from the typesetter's file, reviewed by a human, then published.
Journal-specific or system-wide required items, worked through before a manuscript reaches a reviewer.
Automated similarity scanning built in, with the result attached to the manuscript's technical validation record.
Academic editor recommendation, then handling editor decision — with a query-back and reassign path built in, not bolted on.
A revised manuscript returns to the same review thread, with its round number tracked — nothing starts over.
Page-anchored, resolvable annotations directly on the typeset proof — no marked-up PDF emailed back and forth.
Web article and PDF generated automatically from the approved proof's final file, reviewed by a human before it goes live.
