Find the workflow for your team

Pick the audience that sounds most like you. Every Publicator tier includes the core platform — the differences are the integrations, roles and policy templates that fit your model.

For learned societies & member associations

Scientific Societies

Run your member-facing journal programme on a platform that understands tiered membership, society branding, and APC waivers — without months of custom integration work.

Where they get stuck today

  • Member discounts handled in spreadsheets
  • Society identity lost in vendor templates
  • Manual APC waiver tracking for low-income countries
  • No single view across society publications

How Publicator helps

  • Membership-aware pricing

    Connect your membership directory; APCs adjust automatically at submission time.

  • Society-branded portal

    Custom domain, logo, colours and editorial board pages out of the box.

  • Built-in waiver workflows

    Auto-apply Research4Life and country-based waivers with full audit trail.

Our members finally see their discount the moment they submit — not three emails later.

Capabilities

Everything modern publishing needs, in one platform

No bolt-on integrations, no separate vendors for plagiarism, identity, DOI deposits or analytics.

AI-assisted intake

Automatic metadata extraction, reference parsing and scope-fit scoring on every submission.

Integrity checks built in

Plagiarism, image-manipulation and duplicate-submission checks on every paper, with reviewable evidence.

Tenant-scoped security

Row-level security and SOC 2-aligned controls keep every journal’s data fully isolated.

Editor analytics

Turnaround time, reviewer load and acceptance rate dashboards — per editor and per journal.

Open APIs & webhooks

Bring your own integrations: REST + webhooks for every submission, decision and publication event.

Audit trail by default

Every privileged action — assignment, decision, override — is signed, timestamped and exportable.

How it works

From submission to DOI in five steps

  1. 1

    Submit

    Author drag-and-drops a .docx — Publicator extracts metadata, references and figures automatically.

  2. 2

    Screen

    Plagiarism, scope and integrity checks run instantly; editors get a one-page screening report.

  3. 3

    Review

    AI Reviewer Recommender suggests qualified, conflict-free reviewers from your pool.

  4. 4

    Decide

    Editors compare reviews side-by-side, request revisions or decide with one click.

  5. 5

    Publish

    JATS XML, PDF, DOI and ORCID deposits — done in a single publish action.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before switching

Most societies and small publishers are live in two to four weeks. We import historical submissions, reviewer records, DOIs and editorial decisions — and run in parallel with your existing system until you are ready to switch.
