Secure shelves for peer review and thesis evaluation.

Multi-tenant isolation, configurable visibility for blind review, complete audit trail. Built for journals, conferences, and graduate programs.

Isolated shelves · blind review built in

Academic review processes have specific demands — reviewers shouldn't see authors, manuscripts in progress are confidential, every action needs to be auditable, and committees coordinate across stages and weeks.

  • Blind review requirements

    Reviewers shouldn't see author information. Author identity must stay hidden until decision.

  • Multi-stage workflows

    Desk review, peer review, revision, final decision — all coordinated.

  • Secure document handling

    Manuscripts in progress are confidential. Standard tools leak.

  • Institutional compliance

    Data handling, access controls, audit trails. Generic tools fail audits.

A clean tool for messy work.
