In plain words

Not ScholarOne. Not a paywalled toy.

A WordPress plugin for small journals. Learn one loop. Open tools only when you need them.

  • You start with a demo. Import sample data, open Inbox, decide a paper — the path is visible on day one.
  • Authors stay on the front. The public submit page is the whole author experience. No wp-admin required.
  • Editors live in Inbox. Claim, review, decide, publish. The sidebar stays calm on purpose.
  • Money and DOI are optional. Paste your own Stripe or Crossref keys when ready — or never. Not a WJM paywall.

Who it is for

Campus, society, and diamond OA journals on WordPress hosting.

Small editorial board

Few editors, real peer review, no enterprise license.

Society / campus press

Journals → issues → papers without leaving WordPress.

Not mega-publishers

Not ScholarOne parity. Built for the calm loop, not 50-title ops.
