Built for Anyone Who Wants to Run a Modern Journal

Whether you are an established publisher or an individual editor launching your first journal - ManuscriptFlow gives you a complete, modern peer review system out of the box.

Universities & Colleges
Host departmental, faculty, or institutional journals on a single platform. Each journal gets its own editorial board, branded login page, and submission workflow - perfect for university presses and college research bulletins that want to move off legacy systems or PDFs by email.
Academic Societies & Associations
Run your society journal with a transparent peer review process, a public archive of volumes and issues, and ORCID-friendly submission. Ideal for medical, engineering, scientific, and humanities societies that publish one or many journals.
Independent Publishers
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.
Research Institutes & NGOs
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.
Individual Editors & Founders
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.
Open Access Initiatives
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.

What Is ManuscriptFlow?

ManuscriptFlow is a web-based peer review system software and manuscript management platform built for academic journals, editors, reviewers, and authors. It handles the entire scholarly publishing workflow - online manuscript submission, reviewer assignment, double-blind peer review, editorial decisions, and publication of accepted articles into volumes and issues.

Whether you run a single open-access journal or a multi-journal publishing house, ManuscriptFlow replaces the patchwork of email, spreadsheets, and shared drives with a single journal management software system. Editors-in-chief, managing editors, handling editors, reviewers, and authors each have a role-specific dashboard with the actions they need and nothing they don't.

Built for the realities of modern academic publishing - secure reviewer file access, external reviewer invitations via tokenised links (no account required), customisable editorial workflows per journal, internal messaging that keeps every conversation in context, and an online manuscript submission and tracking wizard that authors can return to and finish later.
