Build your review workflow
For journal manuscript submissions, grant applications, award nominations, internal approvals. Configure forms, roles, and review stages to match your exact process.
Built by the team behind Manuscript Manager, used by more than
500 scholarly journals, grant funders, and PhD programs..
Every stage is yours to define
Some journals customize their workflows based on manuscript types. Some funders run an outline sift before a full panel. Some ethics committees need quorum and a conditional approval step.
In PeerPath, you build each of these in the same editor. Forms decide what gets collected. Roles decide who sees and acts on it. Rules decide what happens next and who gets told. When your process changes, you change the workflow rather than raising a support ticket.
Different sectors, one platform
Peer review is a fundamental part of many sectors. The differences lie in naming conventions, process details, and the type af value created.
Journal publishing
Combatting reviewer fatigue, optimizing for time-to-decision, and often handling several article types across every title.
