The problem

Journal operations are scattered across too many tools.

When each step lives somewhere else, editors spend their time chasing status instead of moving papers forward.

Submissions in one systemManuscripts arrive through a tool that stops at intake.
Reviewer email threadsInvitations, reminders and reviews live in inboxes.
Decisions tracked by handEditorial outcomes recorded in spreadsheets and documents.
Production on the sideTypesetting and proofs managed outside the editorial record.
Disconnected paymentsInvoices and fees reconciled separately from the paper.
Opaque publicationNo single view of what is ready, scheduled or published.

Journal Tech connects these workflows, so a paper's whole story is in one place.

Platform overview

One connected lifecycle, from submission to publication.

Journal Tech is an end-to-end publishing platform, not just a place to receive manuscripts.

  1. Submit
  2. Editorial Screening
  3. Peer Review
  4. Revision
  5. Editorial Decision
  6. Production
  7. Payment
  8. Issue Assignment
  9. DOI
  10. Publication

Journals configure their own workflow; not every journal uses every step in the same way.

For institutions

One institution. Multiple journals. One control plane.

Manage every journal your institution publishes while keeping a clear line between institution-level administration and journal-level operations.

  • Centralized institution administration
  • Multiple journals
  • Journal-level isolation
  • Administrators and roles
  • Governance and audit
  • Visibility across the institution

For journals

Everything your journal needs to run publishing.

For authors and reviewers

A clear path for the people who make the journal.

Authors

From first submission to publication.

  • Submit manuscripts
  • Manage authors
  • Upload files
  • Respond to revisions
  • Track decisions
  • Complete publication and payment steps

Reviewers

Focused on the review, nothing else.

  • Receive invitations
  • Accept or decline
  • Access reviewer-safe manuscript material
  • Submit structured reviews
  • Share recommendations confidentially

Reviewer confidentiality is respected: reviewers see reviewer-safe material, and blinded review is configurable per journal where supported.

Key capabilities

Built for the whole publishing lifecycle.

Multi-Tenant Institutions

Multi-Journal Management

Run many journals under one institution, each on its own.

Governance & control

Control across many journals, without blurring their boundaries.

Designed for institutions that need oversight of several journals while each journal keeps running on its own.

Institution boundaries

Institution administrators act within their own institution, and nowhere else.

Journal boundaries

Each journal's papers, people and settings stay within that journal.

Role-based access

Authors, reviewers, editors and administrators see only what their role allows.

Journal-scoped administration

Journal administrators manage their journal without reaching across it.

Audit trail

Consequential administrative and editorial actions are recorded.

Controlled publishing lifecycle
