About the platform
Just-edit — Where Research Meets Review
A unified academic workflow platform that connects authors, editors, and reviewers to manage manuscripts from submission to editorial decision with clarity and confidence.
Built to modernise academic publishing
Just-edit was created to replace fragmented, email-driven editorial processes with a single, transparent platform. Every stakeholder — authors tracking their manuscripts, editors coordinating peer review, and reviewers delivering structured feedback — shares one clear view of where a submission stands and what happens next.
We believe the journey from manuscript draft to editorial decision should be traceable, fair, and free from unnecessary administrative friction, so the focus stays on research.
Every voice in the editorial process
Just-edit is designed around the four roles that make academic publishing work.
Authors
Submit manuscripts through a guided multi-step flow. Track every status transition, manage co-authors, and receive structured feedback from the editorial team — all in one place.
Editors
Oversee your journal's submission queue, assign reviewers, conduct initial editorial checks, and deliver the final accept, reject, or revise decision with a complete audit trail.
Reviewers
Accept or decline review invitations, evaluate assigned manuscripts, and submit structured feedback that editors and authors can act on. Your history and workload are always visible.
Organisations
Create and manage multiple journals under a single organisation. Configure submission rules, required documents, and access policies per journal from a single platform.
Three stages, one transparent pipeline
From the moment an author clicks "Submit" to the editor's final decision, every step is tracked and every actor is notified.
Submission
Authors complete a structured flow covering journal selection, guideline acceptance, article metadata, co-authors, and file upload before the final submission is validated.
Peer Review
An initial editorial check verifies the manuscript's scope and format. Suitable submissions are assigned to reviewers, who provide structured evaluations. The editor monitors progress at every stage.
Decision
The editor delivers a final decision — Accept, Reject, or Request Revisions — with reviewer comments attached. The complete decision history is preserved for transparency.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Complete audit trail
Every status change, decision, and comment is logged and timestamped for complete traceability.
Milestone notifications
Authors and editors are automatically alerted when a submission advances or requires action.
Role-based security
Granular permissions ensure each role sees only what they need, preventing data exposure between authors and reviewers.
Multi-journal management
Organisations can manage and configure several journals independently from a single account with shared user pools.
Unified dashboard
Live progress for every submission — draft, submitted, under review, revision, accepted, or published.
Configurable requirements
Journals define their own required documents and submission rules, which are automatically enforced during the submission process.
