Purpose-built for academic publishers of every kind
From call for papers through to the published issue or volume, ManasEditorial supports you at every step.
Authors submit manuscripts or chapters against your call for papers, with all metadata captured up front.
Editors screen for scope, formatting and similarity before anything reaches a reviewer.
Expertise-matched reviewers accept the assignment, then score the blinded manuscript.
Accept, minor, major or reject — with consolidated comments and drafted decision letters.
Authors revise and resubmit through tracked rounds with versioned files.
Accepted works flow into issues, volumes or books with contributor lists.
Transform how you manage submissions, double-blind reviews and decisions with a workflow modelled on the world's leading editorial managers — reviewer invitations by expertise, multi-criteria scoring, and full round-by-round history.
Assemble accepted articles into journal issues, or accepted chapters into edited volumes — with section ordering, front matter, contributor lists and export bundles ready for production and indexing.
Every workflow your editorial office runs today, without the spreadsheets and lost email threads.
Full manuscripts or book chapters with abstracts, keywords, subject classifications, multiple co-authors with ORCID and corresponding-author flags, and your own custom submission questions per publication.
Author and reviewer identities stay hidden throughout. Manuscripts are visible only to the author, the handling editor and assigned reviewers — with automatic anonymisation checks on uploads.
Editors invite reviewers from an expertise-tagged database. Reviewers accept or decline before seeing the paper, with automatic reminders and turnaround tracking.
Relevance, originality, soundness and clarity, plus overall recommendation, score and reviewer confidence — configurable per journal or book series.
Accept / Minor / Major / Reject decisions with unlimited revision cycles, versioned files, response-to-reviewers letters and a full round-by-round history.
Assemble accepted articles into journal issues, or accepted chapters into edited volumes with section ordering, front matter and contributor lists — ready for production.
One institute, many publications. Each journal or book series gets its own branded workspace, editorial board, policies and ISSN/ISBN details under your institution's account.
Public board rosters, COPE-aligned ethics declarations, plagiarism-report uploads, conflict-of-interest capture and audit trails for accreditation (NAAC/NBA/UGC-CARE readiness).
Download all submissions to Excel, bundle manuscripts as a ZIP, export reviewer performance and decision statistics, and generate acceptance-rate reports for indexing applications.
Run every journal and edited book your institution publishes from one account — each with its own masthead, board, ISSN/ISBN and policies.
Complete audit trails of reviews, decisions and timelines, exportable for NAAC, NBA, BCI and UGC-CARE documentation.
We host, secure and back up the platform at editorial.legalmanas.com — your team simply edits.
