Multi-journal publishing house? ManuscriptFlow scales from one journal to dozens - with separate workflows, article types, decision letters, and reviewer pools per journal. A modern alternative to ScholarOne, Editorial Manager, and OJS for small and mid-size publishers.
For research organisations, think tanks, and non-profits launching open access journals as part of their dissemination strategy - ManuscriptFlow handles double-blind peer review, COPE-aligned workflows, and the publication of accepted articles to a public archive.
Want to start your own journal? You don't need an IT team. Create a journal in minutes, invite an editorial board, customise the workflow, and start accepting submissions on your branded journal page - all without writing a single line of code.
For libraries, consortia, and community-led open access projects - provide a sustainable, modern journal hosting platform that supports DOAJ-ready exports, ORCID integration, and transparent author/reviewer roles for diamond and gold OA journals.
ManuscriptFlow is designed for the full range of scholarly publishers - from universities hosting departmental and faculty journals, to academic societies running flagship journals for their members, to colleges publishing student-led research bulletins, to independent publishing houses managing portfolios of titles, and to individual editors who want to launch a new journal without the cost or complexity of a legacy editorial management system.
If you are searching for peer review system for new journals, open journal hosting, online manuscript submission for universities, society journal platform, or how to start your own academic journal online - ManuscriptFlow gives you the complete editorial workflow (submission, double-blind peer review, decision, publication) on a hosted platform you can launch in days, not months.
